The composite you posted is also very cool. I'm always amazed at how awesome corona composites look, even with just a couple of exposures.

Another step you can try, is to radially blur the corona, subtract it from the original composite, stretch/sharpen the result, and then "overlay/multiply" it on the original (try varying the opacities etc for optimum results). That will exaggerate the fine structure of the corona.

Thanks Geoff and Paul for the processing tips. I'm looking forward to trying them out at home soon.

Subtracting a blurred layer is something I've done in the past for my comet shots in twilight. Was actually giving it a quick test yesterday too.. shows promise but still isn't going to be easy!
