I last used my solar scope about a year ago. Since then I've barely seen the Sun.

Fire up the Lunt 50 yesterday and was going to use my mono Point Grey camera but couldn't find the 'tent' for my laptop and couldn't see the screen without it. So, I used my Sony A7 III instead w/ a 2.5x PowerMate.

No sunspots but a pretty nice prominence.

I shot a combo of 4K video and images. Video preprocessed in PIPP and postprocessed in Registax. Images postprocessed in Registax. Both results cleaned up in Lightroom.

Enjoy!

Hi Brian!
Yep, me too.
But back in the Vixen saddle again.

Nice Sun shot! Nice prominence!

Good capture of the prominence. I'm still recovering from a laminotomy surgery and not allowed to pick up the CPC1100. It wouldn't do me any good however as the wind and skies on Galveston Island don't cooperate very well. I'll wait until I get back to Arizona in January.
