My first Sun and excellent solution for imaging: Baader K Line Calcium 8 nm HBW / 390-398 filter

I recently approached the fantastic world of observation and imaging of the Sun.
While waiting to equip  with Daystar Chromosphere and appropriate setup  filters, I wanted to find a solution in the emission of Calcium, finding in the Baader K Line Calcium 8 nm HBW / 390-398 nm double Stacked filter, an efficient and relatively inexpensive instrument. I tested it (as a complete layman). I combined it with Astrosolar Baader DO 3.8 filter, arranged in a shameful form not being able to do it yourself (I attach photos. NB. VM 18 years and faint of heart), waiting for the suitable filters.
I tried shooting with ASI 224 MC at the direct fire of a mewlon 180c and with a 120Ed, both at direct fire and with Barlow TV 2x.
The telescopes are mounted on a Vixen SXd2 which has done its job excellently. The shots were taken on the morning of May 8, from the terrace of the house.

very cool,   as long as it works and you get pictures out of it ; mission accomplished.
