Pastel sketch of the H alpha sun on April 17th

[acr_astro]

Dear all,

this sunny morning, I spent half an hour before doing an 11km hike with my family to draw the sun with pastels. Actually both things have been wonderful amusements in these days when lots of other nice things don't work.
So here's the sketch:

Telescope: Lunt LS50THaB600PT
Eyepiece: Celestron X-Cel 10mm
Date & Time: April 17th, 2021 / 1000-1030 CEST
Location: home terrace, Dusseldorf region, Germany
Technique: reddish Koh-i-Noor Toison d'Or pastels and pastel pens on black Hahnemühle mould-made pastel paper
Size: 24 x 31 cm

Clear skies and stay healthy!
