I expect to go down in flames. But I really want the prize. Almost certainly somebody is going to set up a giant honkin' reflector telescope and get some detailed image of Saturn or Jupiter. Likely dozens of people will run with the same idea. So my thinking is to use my less capable resources and do a solar system object that might seem to ordinary. I made a proof-of-concept below shooting some photos today. Just take a sun photo with the solar filter and replace the black sky part with another sky image I take near the sun. Does it look too AI CGI?

Go for it, Chris! You could even photograph... the Earth. Brian May is cool.

Second draft. You might see the direction I am working toward here. ![](https://i.imgur.com/ZWCr5pp.jpg) This time I layer-stacked about 100 images of the sun to bring out a bit of surface detail. This is still the photos I took last weekend. And I used one of the other images of the cloudy sky for the background (and also layered on top as foreground).
