First off, Alan ...  as usual an incredible result.  Is this from your

Coronado filter on your AP refractor?  Did you use a Barlow?


I too was out watching the Sun on Saturday and testing my new Lunt

60mm Solarscope for the first time.  I don't have enough in focus

travel to include a filter wheel because the diagonal is an integral

part of the Ha filter system so I had to combine a color frame onto

the much more detailed mono frame.  I think the Lunt is rated at about

0.7A so you do see some surface granulation but nothing like the

beautiful detail in Alan's image.


Just wanted to post something here since it's been so long and we

Milton  to know he still has a loyal following!



Jim
