Hi all,

Here's a 9-frame solar mosaic made using images delivered by a
Coronado PST and captured by a Lumenera SKYnyx camera. PST frames
aren't particulalry well suited to this kind of image construction as
they tend to come with a sweet-spot and gradient bands across them.
The processing isn't perfect but it's a lot better than my previous
attempts...

Dear Pete,

This is truly excellent work. You have the acquisition and processing
fully mastered.

Anthony.

I haven't enough technical knowledge to ask any insightful questions
Pete, but that image from an artistic point of view is breathtaking.

Beautifully done Pete! That's one of the best PST images I've seen.

See, I told you not to waste time trying to use a DSLR with a PST. ;-)

Very impressive.
I hardly imagine how difficult it could be to join the pieces of the puzzle
without large details.
