the sun just looks great. i cant see the transitions to the neighboring images. great work.

Thanks, I think it's hard to make a nice picture of the sun, I haven't really figured out what the trick is to get it like in this picture, I guess I was lucky here :-)
Regarding the seams: The panorama factory does a very good job with only little manual work on my side.

Amazing work. Beautiful. i am short of words...
