Not bad Paul.....but what I'm going to say I fear is the eqivalent of, "yes your bum looks big in that"...

Toss the camera in the bottom drawer for a bit, and look at the sun with a warm eye and well corrected eyepiece (and solar filter! )
Your hopefully will see....
  • Very smooth solar hemisphere flux, there are no seams, it's basically a glowing sphere with "frilly bits" on top
  • there is no chaotic (blurred/double image) structure
  • proms don't have "glowing auras" and are well defined against black space.
How you choose to represent a monochromatic image (h-alpha) of the sun is of course up to you....but processing artifacts, to me, should be avoided at all costs, as, like black rings around over-sharpened stars, they simply don't exist.


Hope that helps
