Here a test image from the ZWO432 with the 2x Barlow. The filament in the lower right is the one on my latest installment "So Exactly How Big is This Filament?"

@Mike Mulcahy and I were working out how to more accurately size the Earth into our Solar images. We found that you can go into GIMP or PS and add this image and a Sun Scale image as layers and resize one to match the other then add a circle that matches the Earth size in the Sun Scale. Bingo!
Credit to Mike, thanks!

This method only works if you catch part of the rim in your image for reference.

CS, Eddie
