Yes, I agree, the B/W version shows the spots more clearly. You did a good job there. I remember taking some projected sunspot shots (through a 3" refractor) as a teenager.

Just added a monochrome of the image taken prior to the color one.
Silver Efex Pro 2 preset "Preserve High Structure (Harsh)" brought out
some amazing detail in the solar surface:

Really pleased with that monochrome one.

The current assignment in our little astrophotography workshop is to
capture old Sol. I made a solar filter for my telescope (shown in
several documentary photos:

image I used the Bigma. Taken a few minutes ago during my afternoon
break from here at work.

Nothing artistic, just the first decent photo I have ever gotten of
sunspots. I'll get better, I promise.
