Revisited an old image, from back when the sun was active

Being bored, and browsing through some old data, I noticed a reprocess I did of an image I shot on my brother's birthday in 2015. I had it printed on a large format and gave it as a birthday gift. Boy was the sun more active then

Not seen the sun for over 2 weeks through the scope.

Sun throwing a summer party. Very nice image.

What scope and camera was used for this image if you can remember?

I used my APM 80 mm F/6 triplet, with Beloptik tri-band ERF, Baader TZ-4 tele-centric lens, Solar Spectrum 0.3 Å H-alpha filter, and ASI174MM camera. This is a mosaic of some 45 panes, as I recall.
