- Support For me the WOW factor is great here! First I thought this was an artist's impression. Then again, the picture is rather small, it only has a normal wallpaper size. With the equipment of NASA I think the original file is or could be much bigger in size. There are also small artifacts on the left. --Ximonic (talk) 11:07, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
- The original file is 40962, but it shows the whole sun. Because this is a small detail, the resolution is not that impressive and there is some noise. --Julian H. (talk/files) 12:33, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Alternatives
[edit]I used the original files to generate two versions with less / less apparent noise. The crop is a bit less tight but that could be changed easily.
-
This one uses the same blending method, but is less noisy (but darker)
-
This one uses an overlay blending method and is therefore also a lot less noisy, but shows detail in different areas.
What do you think? --Julian H. (talk/files) 12:53, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
