Early start paid off today with almost an hour of clear skies

Ca-K full disk 2 pane mosaic with 0.5x reducer

And this one, 6 pane experiment without the reducer. Not sure about the bottom right pane, looks a little soft? Looks ok on it's own so I am guessing MSIce has done something creative with it. Doing the FD this way removed the gradient that is evident when I use the reducer.

And then some close-ups at either 1500 or 2000mm FL.

Really clean images Dave, that AR2396 close up  very nice, here is hoping it kicks off at the weekend, it's a Beta/Gamma AR so may flare if were lucky.

Great set. Clearly the investment in the Cak has paid off

The Ca-K images are brilliant- those close ups
