Thanks Milton. This image was captured with the Flea3. The seeing has been quite bad over the last week... I needed all the frames I could muster to try and find a few sharp ones to stack. I used 53 frames from about 3000 for this image through my 6" refractor at 2 meter focal length. The day before I shot the full disk with the Grasshopper and my 90mm solarmax/stowaway combination:

The Grasshopper Express lies in wait of some better seeing.

cheers,

Alan
