Trio of Full Disks - 1st September

[markt]

After what seems like an age of cloudy skies thursday finally allowed me to get some solar observing in. A trio of full disks; Ha, CaK & WL.

Very nice . Which scope and camera do you use?

Thanks Andy!

All 3 are 6 frame mosaics assembled in IMerge. Stacking done in Avistack2, wavelets applied in Registax5, tweaks done in CS4. Equipment details as follows:

Ha - Coronado DS40 @ f20 DMK31

CaK - 70mm frac @ f10, homebrew CaK filter, DMK31

WL - 70mm frac @ f12, Lunt Solar Wedge, 705nm 'TiO' filter, DMK31.

Got a few more closeups to process...

I’m a total beginner to astronomy, and it’s images like yours that just blow me away. Amazing!
