This is a mosaic of 7 frames. I can get a full disc in one but this gives so much more detail. No impressive proms today. Dave

Lovely image. That spiky prom was very visible during the total eclipse in Australia. Dave -

Looks OK. I use a Rowan tilt adapter but see no reason why the FLO one should not be alright, Dave

I would certainly recommend the 174MM camera. It has a large chip which gives the full solar disc in one with my Lunt 80 and runs at just over 100 fps provided you use USB3 leads. A tilt adapter is effective to stop the interference bands. Dave

Nice one David. Good to see you here again. Dave

Excellent image. That AR only appeared yesterday. Dave

Thank you Gordon and everybody else. You are right, technology has greatly improved the image quality in all aspects of astrophotography. When I used to teach, some years ago, we had astro photos taken by professionals using large scopes, used as posters that were no match for most images posted on here nowadays. Dave

Great to see the Sun again. I did manage to get some yesterday but it was a bit of a challenge. More images from today can be seen on my website. Dave

Well done Steve, very nice. You were lucky, I saw the Sun for about 20 minutes while it was behind a large tree prior to setting! Dave
