White light full disc with the monster! 25/10/14

Just to add my meagre efforts to the fray of beautiful recent images of our amazing star.

The continuous moving cloud, breezy conditions and general seeing was poor but I managed to get 26 useful frames to stack.

Great image. What was your setup?

Thanks! Used my Skyliner 200P Dob with a small slip-on solar housing designed for my ST80 made from Baader film just taped over the 55mm off-axis hole in the dust cap. This effectively turns the scope into an f/22 tube.

The camera is a Canon 1100D attached at prime focus with a T-ring, took 170 frames but selected 26 using PIPP.

Ran them through then (in order) AS!2, Registax 6 and finally Gimp.
