Single shot taken through a Lunt LS60THa/B1200 with 2x Barlow Lens and Canon 1100D. Plenty of dust on Canon's optics, including two dark spots on disc. These images don't do my telescope any justice as looking directly through an eyepiece is incredible - red lava like disc with plenty of pin sharp proms and surface details. Could most probably go as high as 6mm eyepiece for observing with this scope.

Just some colour swapping in IrfanView to get an orange disc.

 

These were taken some three weeks ago with the same scope and ASI290MC camera.

Pretty good for colour cameras, you can't beat mono for solar imaging though.

Thanks Dave. I was thinking about the MM version but realised I would have no time for filter swapping and went the easy MC way :).

[Merlin66]

For. Solar imaging the mono can be used and the color added during processing.

Very nicely captured.

Thanks for the shares.

There are no filters to swap out when using mono.  Simply throw on false color with Photoshop.  With four times as much data as a color cam, your details will really pop.

Thank you all for encouraging words, I will definitely try monochrome next time I image. Cheers.

A nice prominence in that first shot, well done.
