Great seeing today and a nice small AR. Tried the SM90II again and got better results.

Thanks again guys

The artificial flat field is described here:
http://re.apaaweb.com/image_processing.html

ARTIFICIAL FLAT-FIELD (SUN)

Open mosaic image (16-bit TIFF file) http://re.apaaweb.com/flat_field_sun-01.jpg
Create a new Layer http://re.apaaweb.com/flat_field_sun-02.jpg
Create a Mask http://re.apaaweb.com/flat_field_sun-03.jpg
Copy mosaic image to Mask
Apply a Median Filter (e.g. radius 25) http://re.apaaweb.com/flat_field_sun-04.jpg
Reduce Mask brighthness (Curves) http://re.apaaweb.com/flat_field_sun-05.jpg
Apply Mask (Difference) http://re.apaaweb.com/flat_field_sun-06.jpg
Reduce Mask Opacity if needed http://re.apaaweb.com/flat_field_sun-07.jpg
Flaten Layers
Use Curves and/or Levels to adjust contrast and brightness http://re.apaaweb.com/flat_field_sun-08.jpg
Save flat-field corrected image (16-bit TIFF file)

That is an excellent set of images Pedro! Clear skies here too, but sun is low in the trees on the roofline for me this time of year.

Thanks Raf and thanks Mark for the SPOD

I guess you're right, this might well be the last AR of this cycle, or maybe not
