 Some
            better seeing today, about 2.5/5 and good details on the proms
            were to be had.

 Halpha:


            
Lets start
            with the wide full disk shot, this two part composite is with
            the 0.5x Antares focal reducer. The disc was imaged at a gamma
            of 40, and the proms at 150


            


            
Next we insert
            the 3x klee barlow and remove the focal reducer, so these are
            about 6x magnification. The details on the disk were pretty good
            today, and several exciting active regions were imaged


            


            
 


            


            
 


            


            
 


            


            
The proms
            were the same magnification, but gamma set for 150. This brings
            out the subtle gradiations in the firey proms, and retails the
            spicules on the limb.
