First Solar image

[oldpink]

very cloudy but managed to find a gap and get a reasonable focus and find a setting that worked (ISO 200 1/2000 exp)

Just realized I forgot to remove the CLS Clip filter from the camera

Nice job! You can correct the blue in processing software. What do you use?

its just a raw Jpeg scaled down in photoshop no processing

Why ISO 200 if i may ask? Is that the lowest your camera goes? When you say it's a Raw Jpeg do you mean it's a Jpeg that you made from the original RAW file? Nice work!

Try having a go with Colour Balance. I think it's: Image > Adjustments >  Colour Balance. I can't say for sure when I'm not in front of the software! I do some things instinctively now!

I was trying different settings to see what worked and 200 worked, could have went to 100 but I'll experiment more on a sunny day to see what works best

raw Jpeg = its a preview image taken in BYEOS in Jpeg format no conversion just resized down a bit

You should always use the lowest ISO setting with something as bright the sun. It's a Jpeg derived from the original RAW file you mean. It can't be both in one file though you can in settings take one of each in a single exposure. Set your color balance to even out the green. Well done!

I just took one the other day  that showed over 25 sunspots at once. The sun is coming into it's down cycle now for solar flares. Lets hope the predictions for 2015 do NOT come true!

All depends on what filtering you are using , generally I shoot at between 1/125s - 1/200s @ ISO 200 with my set-up ... I discounted the 1/1000s or faster myth long ago ... in fact I found that anything over 1/1000s with the 1000D gave a nasty gradient that was impossible to remove ...
