Lots of chatter on forums about the sun's recent action ....so I

I imaged the sun this morning. I am seeing a lot of chatter about the sun's proms and spots so I went in search to see for myself this morning.
500 total pics - kept 100 and stack processed in Autostakket - then used Registax wavelets for the balance. Color was added in PSCC.
I used the Vixen ED81S refractor - Quark Chromosphere - and ASI120MM-S camera. Newton rings are a real problem when using this camera with an Ha Filter of any kind so I had to use the T-Tilter and a 2 degree tilt to minimize them. They are still present but not as bad.

I didn't know you had the setup for Hydrogen Alpha photography.
This looks pretty darn good and glad to see someone else shoot the Sun for a change.
Quite Nice Ed.

I don't do enough solar imaging to know what I am doing. Same with plantarry . Registax and autustakkert are programs that I haven't taken the time with to know what I am doing.
I can get the full disk if I use the ASI174MM-c cameras also the Newton rings are hardly noticeable but I have that camera on another mount ready for a clear night. I have pretty much committed the AVX PLUS Vixen ED81s to solar imaging along with my ASI120mm-c cam. It is a better planetary cam but works ok for the sun.

The magnetic force lines around the sunspot is epic.

Great job Ed. I wish I had a great setup like you and Jim. I have just a simple Solar filter.
