Steven,
I see you have gotten you one of those new cameras. It looks like it does well. I love the vivid colors you use in processing.

That's very nice shot, Stephen. Maybe take 500 frames to make a master flat would be able to calibrate the vignetting. A friend of mine told me that put this thing in front of the telescope can make good flat on your short focal telescope ( can fill the full disk), worth to try.

It’s purposely showing the limb darkening or lightening in the inverted image in order to give it a more three-dimensional feel, just like it looks in the scope

Great images, Stephen. Coloured inverted images have a special appearance of their own. Very nice.

Oh, my mistake, Stephen. I want to say nonuniformity of the brightness on disk (Ha). CaK channel looks great!!

Oh. Now I understand. This is because my blocking filter in my LUNT B1800 is covered in mold. I have a new one on the way.
