Frustrating day today. When it wasn't cloudy the seeing was horrible   Still hung in there and got what I could

White lights

Tried some H alpha. Shot enough data for a 6 pane mosaic but as usual with H alpha they would not stitch . Did a second run, still wouldn't stitch , gave up and settled for a couple of shots of the interesting stuff

Then some Ca-K. Shot a 2 pane mosaic and it stitched without a problem, shot a 6 pane mosaic and that stitched fine too Here's the 6 pane version.

Finally a 2 pane mosaic @1500mm FL of the 3 main active regions. This stitched fine too

Great results Dave.  I didn't get chance to do any thing - ferrying the kids about the country all day
