Too many questions about the technique but I won't understand the answers, so I'll leave it as Stunning. Thanks for posting.

Beautiful. I looked through your other shots too, really really good. I like the granulation in the sunspot image. The full face image of the Moon is spectacular, and the detail apparent on Mars is wonderful.
