It was a bit hazy day and I'd like to use it as an excuse for the gradients. But I think that pro imager would have been able to fix them in PP.

Click it large!

Nicely done, perhaps you could list the equipment for those who missed your other thread.

Good point! I ended using Tak106ed, Baader ERF and Daystar Quark.

It happened like this

Lovely Image. I do (casually) wonder what the arc sec resolution limit
solar scopes is... Some variation on the Dawes' Limit... Mr. Nyquist?
How big an aperture is still beneficial for an HA scope... CaK scope etc.

Here's e.g. a stopped down (65mm only) barlowed TAK CaK setup:

Might effect any aspiring purchaser of front mounted ERF's though!

It all comes down to the seeing conditions. The average seeing disk (PSF) is usually >2 arc sec and this swamps the theoretical resolution of the telescope/ camera.

that's a great image mate, lovely details, the gradients don't look too bad to me. thanks, charl.

My honest, and somewhat painful opinion is, even though I don't dare to think about it, that I made practically as good images with my TS65Q and Quark than now with slightly more expensive 106ED, 110mm ERF and Quark.

Here's something taken today:

My directions are messed though and need to fix that in next images..

Depends where you are, could be right from somewhere

Very nicely captured.
