A couple images captured of the sun today. Using different color palettes I can really change the feel of the image.
🕑 Added 2022-01-30 21:18:05 +0000 UTCFor some context, here's how it looked before processing. The prominences are very faint, so need processing to brighten them. The color palettes chosen are never "true color", as the image has virtually zero color depth during capture. It's a very narrow band of hydrogen-alpha light, which is pinkish red visually, but since it's such a narrow band of light there is no "depth" to the color, so there is no value in shooting with a color camera. I can reassign the accurate color to it, or have fun with it. The sun is technically just white, but the atmospheric details do not appear in that color. So for that reason, there isn't really ever a way of displaying this in a way that your eyes would see it.
