But I've come to accept that no matter how much effort I put into such "pretty pictures" better ones will always show up in S&T. :) patrick On 19 May 2012, at 00:54, Patrick Wiggins wrote:

Hi Patrick, Humm -- could they be reflection artifacts, that is, something inside the tube reflecting? Are you certain no light gets in around the edge of the filter?
At this point I just don't know. I used the exact same setup and equipment for the Sun shots I made with film but did not have the problem then.
Since I don't need to worry about the corona I'm also going to try without the telecompressor.
Were these jpgs when you took them?
Yes. "Normal" resolution. I'll also try high resolution and then raw and see if that makes a difference.
More on this closer to sunset this evening.
