Hey Mike, why is it that your pictures appear yellow, yet when viewing the sun with the naked eye via the PST (as we did in Turkey) it was all red?

I've adjusted the hue to yellow to create a more familiar appearance. Most h-alpha images seem to be processed to this colour.

I also gave h-alpha images a yellow hue when I had a h-alpha scope, the red seemed so harsh on the screen.
