Shot in Hydrogen Alpha and learned after the fact that if I had shot it in CaK it might have been twice this size.
I'll take what I can get.
Lunt pressure tuned 60mm solar scope with a Skyris 236M Monochrome CMOS camera.
20 second videos that I stacked the best 100 frames in Autostakkert3.
Final tweaks and color added in Photoshop 2022.
Stay safe...
