Calcium lines contrast enhanced using AstroSurface

I reworked a couple of my CaIIH/K images with the objective to increase the contrast. I was able to do this using AstroSurf. 

Workproces
- Inti processing of CaII Ser files
- DeNoise AI to remove noise 
- Astrosurface : wavelets, mostly high frequency and Local contrast enhancement
- CS4 : unsharpen mask, noise reduction (what's left) and false coloring and adjusting brighness.

These are the results; I may conclude that difference between first two (July 25) and third picture (July 4th) is due to active versus quiet Sun.
