Hello everyone,
after seeing the splendid images posted lately on this solar active region, I post this :S which is not exactly at the level of Alan's, but it is a full disk and so maybe worth a look.

The image has been obtained as follows:

Tak 102+ Solarmax 90 @F8
ST-2000 XCM with a 13% ND filter
single 6msec exposure processed in PS for disk details and prominences' details and then merged into the attached image which has been also resampled to 70% its original size.

Thanks for looking

Nonsense! Spectacular shot and as a full disk it shows even better than mine the massive disturbance of this region.

Looks a little like a cyclops, too!

Beautifully done,
Alan

EXCELLENT!
There's nothing like a Solar Ha shot to bring out all the detail & activity...

Thank you Gianluca! 8)
