Problems Encountered: Thanks for your previous message, yes I am setting
the histogram to about 83%. I find that I always have the best contrast
(for both chromosphere or prominences) when the chromosphere tuner is
turned all the way in, and the prominence tuner turned a decent amount
out. When I turn the chromosphere tuner out the image darkens a lot and
loses a lot of details, and when I turn the prominence tuner in the very
bright zone when I turn up the gain is not appearing in the center of
the image but on its side, which leads to bad images…
