Just Sharpen, Color, and Rotate/Mirror as mentioned above.

Sharpen was default all around, Color was bumping saturation to about 125%, max on both high and low end, and then I ran Red and Green up to about 3.0 for some yellow, and then played with green to get the orange-red color.
Ever thought of doing a HDR composite?
I did one way back with M42 as a trial exercise, so I understand the basic concept anyway.
In this case, I don't think there's a benefit to be had..at least not yet. Tell me if my thinking is wrong here...
This image was shot at the lowest possible exposure on the camera, ISO 100 1/4000" exposure time. Can't get any less light into the camera than that. It's still a little overexposed imo. I'm thinking maybe adding an ND filter to the train so I can dampen things even more.
My thinking/hope is that a lower exposure will give some more definition to the sunspots, and perhaps let some of the fainter ones be more visible. If that proves to be the case, then I may very well look to combine some exposure times, and see what I get.
