I usually have the company of my female cat. She's quite tiny compared to my Norwegian forest cat but he's so timid my little cat see's off anything she considers trespassing and protects my big cat, it's quite funny to watch. She's my little Nija, lol. I feel quite safe with her by my side, lol.

Yep Victor, I've triple mounted my solar scopes.

I only had a very brief moment when the clouds was not so dense that I could see near maximum with the binoculars and baader Solar film. Not enough time to capture anything with the camera.

Clouded out here with rain 😭

No not mandatory Merlin, but nice and convenient, lol.

Thanks, they're the triple mounted solar setup enables me to image in three wavelengths, hydrogen alpha, calcium II k and white light.

Hi Stu, normally here and solar chat forum but I'm backlogged with processing at the mo because of limited time. Hopefully get some done this weekend.

Thanks Jeremy, much appreciated.

Clouds prevented me from capturing in other wavelengths but screenshot is in the Calcium II K wavelength.

Welcome to the bright side and slippery slope into solar imaging/observation. Well done on first image.

Forecast is clouds for me Thursday but hoping that will change.

Some lovely activity. Three wavelengths Ha, Calcium II K and WL screenshots. Last image shows the depth of each wavelength.

Nice details in your drawing. Matching what I images on the same day. Good to see more activity. Posted screenshots in HA and Calcium II K. Orientation is different to your drawing though, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jeremy much appreciated.

Glad you were able to get some good rays. Been lovely here.

Thanks Mark, appreciate your comment.

Hi all, screenshots for info of solar activity. New plage area South Eastern quadrant, AR2827 developing nicely and large prom on the South Western quadrant. Several smaller proms dotted around the disk.

Latest and final incarnation.

Hi, I don't take off the double stack but I know other people do. I don't use a focal reducer for full disk using a Zwo ASI 178mm camera. I do sometimes use a 2.5x powermate for closer image's but more often than not use just region of interest in the camera settings in firecapture. For full disk I capture 1000 frames with a 40% stack and close up 3000/4000 with a 15/20% stack in autostakker 3. Yes, the scope's are expensive but my double stack was second hand so that made it affordable. Hope that helps.

Thanks for your comments everyone, very much appreciated.

Thanks Sunshine, really appreciate your comments.

Hi all, some lovely activity with a few active regions. AR2824 and AR2826 particularly.

Thanks Mark, yeah, I was really surprised how fast it's grown.

Yeah, the newly assigned AR2826 has certainly burst into an active region with full blown spot group.
