Description

This animation is made out of 8 images:
1) Best single image
2) Stacked image (stacked 500 images in AS!3)
3) Unsharp masking in PS: radius 1,4 amount 480
4) Unsharp masking in PS: radius 15,5 amount 100
5) Unsharp masking in PS: radius 1,7 amount 110
6) Levels in PS: move blackpoint
7) Using a layer to add contrast
8) Shadows and highlights, final image

This way you can see how relatively easy it is to process images if the starting quality is quite good. It is not some difficult art form, it is a craft.
This way of procesing can be found in the solar bible: Solar Astronomy edited by Christian Viladrich.
