In order to obtain my hallmark blue-violet-ish Sun, with the active regions as white, I obtain the brighter-than-average information, long story short, this picture below. While this is usually nothing more than the saturation layer negative I use, now I publish it, cause why not, it looks awesome. Actually, I’ve seen quite many „black suns” that were negatives, curved in weird ways, especially for hydrogen alpha, a sloppy way to deal with the prominences that are much fainter than the bright limb. The Sun below is neither. It is >>the Sun<< in normal light, minus the boring part, which I also posted, for reference.
