Here is my selection of shots of the Sun today. Great to see so much activity! All taken with a Lunt LS50THa and ZWO ASI120MC-S. The close up was taken with the addition of a Televue 2.5x Powermate. Clear skies and an active Sun to you all!

I have been trying for weeks now to take some pics but despite doing everything suggested on another forum I seem to be getting nowhere below is a screen shot taken today Sept 2 nd 2017. I am using a Lunt 50ha it's a DMK 21 camera and ICCapture software. Any thoughts or ideas please, I'm going stir crazy and going in circles but getting no where. Should I bite the bullet and get a ZWO 120.

Open a separate thread explaining what you are doing and settings you are using. Looking at that screen shot your exposure looks to long.

Dinoboy,

I'd say you're definitely over exposed - 1/7 sec is something I might use to pick up faint proms...

Around 1/100 s would be more normal for the disk.

Thanks guys, today (Sunday 3rd Sept) it is very overcast so I tried with my Explore Scientific 80ed apo, just pointing at a tree in the distance, I played around with all the settings and I managed to see my very first image on the laptop. This is so exciting for me, just got to do the same for the Sun.
