Thanks guys.
However to be fair, all my images have soft bits and you can see the joins. This is caused by the sweet spot effect with this scope. Something I hope to get rid of as soon as I get the Lunt 80. It annoys the crap out of me, I have been doing larger mosaics with more panels to eliminate most of the issue but getting the etalon setting just right is problematic. The older solarmax 60 which I have suffered from sweet spots so this is what you have to deal with. Viewing the sun the sweet spot is just barely visible but when imaging it becomes obvious. When imaging at higher res this problem disappears but means lots of panels to do a full disk. So Pete I am familiar with what the sun actually looks like and trying to emulate that but at present I am hamstrung.
The glowing aurora around the proms is a product of this sweet spot problem too. One hemisphere ends up being very bright once the blend occurs and this needs to be even up to make it look "right". I personally don't mind this look myself because in the eyepiece the sky looks like a faint red around the sun, when in fact it ought to be near black when looking away from the sun (ie if you were in close orbit and looking at the limb). Personal taste I suppose but not to everyones liking.
You have to use what you can, at present I am in the waiting game.
