Hi all,

With the emergence of AR808 on the sun, I pulled out the ED100 and got these images from Sept 9 and 10. Seeing was much better on the 10th. I used a 535nm green filter for the Sept 10 image. I found the key to using that filter is to add about 10-15% gain.

Great pictures Paul grin
I was watching the same group in H-alpha today dodging the clouds :C that later would cover everything. It was really a mesmerizing sight grin
I took some sequences and I'm processing them as I read this, although I don't expect much from them as I did all in a hurry as I had to do some things that couldn't wait :C
I hope to wake up to a beatiful sunny day tomorrow!

Ciao Paul and keep that solar scope working wink

Hi Paul -

Fine detail - especially on the second one. I just came in from a long look at this region - what a treat to have an exciting solar show back again.
