Today's Sun .. pushing the stock PST.

I tried my first inverted solar image today but I also tried a new trick which seemed to pay dividends.

I took 2 separate video stacks of the region with slightly different bandpass tuning on the elaton ring to reveal separate "depths" to the surface detail then combined both with layer blending which seemed to a result in a far more detailed and dynamic image than either stack alone.

Just the base model coronado PST single stack with 2.5x powermate and ZWO 174mm CMOS camera.

Thanks guys! I did an animation too but with regular single stacks but the clouds came and ruined the party before I could get even a couple of seconds of footage, so it's a very short subtle loop. You can see the filaments moving though.

wow nice capture! I especially like the whispy filaments towards the outer edge of the sun. I have a standard pst as well, so i'm glad to see whats achievable.
