None of them
Processing solar eclipse images (specially if you have a lot of them to process) is a bit of an "open" subject.

I still use Autostakkert (version 4.0.11 is current release). For full disk use can treat the Sun like a planet. For close up, use surface mode and treat it like imaging the Moon. Seems to work great.

Doesn't Autostakkert produce a combined single image result? It would be great to create individual frames registered on the solar corona.
Field rotation has to be corrected. Does Autostakkert do that?
