Fired up the Lunt 60 solar scope and QHY 462C camera on the iOptron CEM26 mount late this afternoon and shot some video of ol'Sol.

Not a whole lot of activity on the sun. A few threads, a couple of sunspot areas and two smallish prominences.

The winter weather was T-shirt warm and the sun was bright. Nice after a week of -40C weather.

Enjoy!

Would have been a lot better if there hadn't been cloud all day! As it was these were show just as the sun set over the mountains; lots of atmospheric rocking and rolling.

Nice shots, looks like the Lunt 60 works well.
