PST first light

I got a PST today and managed to grab this image from work at about 4:30 this arvo.

Next time I'll be doing multiple images with different tuning and exposures to balance and bring out the details on the face and the edge.

Lots to learn about solar imaging and processing but I'm pretty happy with this as a first image

Any advice would be welcome!

PST / QHY5L-IIc / Registax / Startools / PS

Added the top half from video taken at the same time and did a full repro, much happier now

Great first light Hugh. Looks very similar to my first attempts. I found this article very helpful: http://www.photosbykev.com/wordpress...solar-imaging/
