Glad you could capture some data. It was sunny here, but then I got out my scope, and clouds rushed in

Really nice full disk Dave. I can see some filaments almost on the center.  These filaments were not there on Sunday, when was the last time I observed the Sun.

Best Regards,

Great pic Dave.  

How did you achieve the even overall texture of the solar surface ?   My PST seems to give  good clarity in a circular patch about 1/2 a solar disc in size, then it tails off into murkiness and fuzz.   Is this a mosiac ?      What kit did you use on it ?

Hi Sean, using LuntLS60DS and Skyris 274 to get full disc in one go, takes a lot of fiddling with the tuning to get even illumination over the whole disc.

I think folk with PST say there is a sweet spot so they may do mosaics to get even illumination ?

Nicely done.
