Nice!!! Love how the one far left reaches over to the middle ones. How difficult is it to achieve focus, I can see when you have sunspots to zoom in on, but w/o Any, it would seem difficult.

I find the hardest part is to not over expose and wash out the prominence. I usually bring it up till I can see all of the parts and back down a few positions so that the faint parts don't show in my view. When I stack, they come back up.

Thanks Craig.
Not sure about the fires near crater lake. They are closing the road on the West side for now.
I sure hope they get that mess out soon.

Fantastic Jim!
Great images!

So, it's probably safe to say the Solar North Pole isn't capped with ice?

Ducks... Runs....
