Full Disk H-Alpha
This is my first attempt to stitch together a full-disk image in H-Alpha, It's definitely not up to the standards of the folks in the Yahoo PST group, but it's here, warts and all, as an illustration of my evolution as a solar imager. My photo package does not autostitch a panorama, so there was lots of layer switching and moving around of images to make this pic. I'm not sure I'll do it again as it is incredibly time-consuming!
