sign up for solarchat.natca.net- solar imagers/ observer's forum and it helped me a lot when I was getting started.

I wish I could offer you some advice on the distortion in the image.I have very limited solar experience and that in white light only single shot canon 1100d. PST's are amazing and you gleaned a lot of detail out of that shot. i hope to see more of your solar work. The DSO work is quite nice also.
Be well

So, actually, after examining the individual subs in close detail, it appears as though the ringed distortion in the upper part of the image is endemic to all the subs and an artifact of over-exposure. I will try shorter exposures next time around and see if that resolves the issue.

if you still get some drift you can drift align it in from there

you can also try to carefully mark the placement of your tripod so you can reposition it in the same place for daytime

Unfortunately that is not an option for me. I have to ether set-up at a remote sight or at the end of my driveway due to my lot being home to many tall trees. My rig would be gone by morning unless I baby-sat it all night. Thanks for the comment.

polar align at night and leave your mount set up for the day
Some nice detail none the less
