The weather finally offered up a clear sky this morning. I took advantage.

I shot both Hydrogen Alpha and White Light solar. This post is the White Light portion.

Equipment: Astro-Tech 65 EDQ scope, Herschel Wedge, QHY 462C camera, 2.5x & 5x PowerMates & iOptron CEM 26 mount.

Shot 3-4000 frames of video per region and extracted the best frame using AutoStakkert. Postprocessing in Lightroom/Photoshop.

Glad I got out this morning. The sky is now clouded over and it has rained.

Enjoy!

Really nice detail in the sunspots and solar granulation.
