It has taken most of the week to process the image sets captured last Sunday...maybe a week of 'spring rush' left at work...dragged well over a month late compared to most years with the clod, wet spring. Last Sunday was a beautiful clear day, though the seeing wasn't great it was better than I expected. With the prosp...
The first set of images are full disks. The Ha was taken through the LS80T/LS75FHa/B1200Ha solar scope and the PGR camera (ICX674 chip). This is a composite image with a longer limb exposure to pull up the fainter proms (limb inverted):

The next full disk images are through the iStar 150mm/f8 OTA using a Lunt Solar Wedge/Baader Continuum filter for the WL images and a modified Lunt Solar Wedge/B1800CaK module/Baader K-Line filter set. Both used an ASI1600MM camera.

While the iStar was on the Sun I imaged the developing AR in WL and CaK with a 3x tele-converter and the ASI174MM camera:

I switched over to the modded CR-150/DSII/B1800Ha and the 3x tele-converter/ASI174MM to see fruits of the Ha spectrum. Initial images did not show a lot of detail, so I swapped the B1800Ha blocker for the Quark Combo to DS the scope, and this made a significant improvement in the ability to see the details. I made a fe...

Quite a nice session with the new cycle showing signs of life :o
Now, I think I have some unprocessed prom images...I better see what happened to them!
Questions and comments are always welcome,
Brian
