Beautiful! Glad you got it.

Your video gives a real sense of the scale of it compared to the whole disk. Huge! 👍

Stole a quick 10 minutes from work to see what the sun was doing today. No sign for me of the original prom of this thread but some interesting ones on the opposite limb including one that looked like it was in the middle of space, totally detached from the sun itself! Attached a rough sketch. Also pic for @Stu  got the phone centered and the adaptor centered but no amount of playing with the exposure settings brought out the dim proms . Even more impressed at your pics!

Ha images with smartphones aren’t easy Malcolm. Don’t forget I had a 102mm aperture scope, so a lot more mag and brightness to play with. Not sure which phone you have, is it an iPhone or Android? I use an app called ProCam 8 on my iPhone which gives great control of ISO, shutter speed and focus.

It's a very old Moto (Android). I would upgrade if I hadn't given FLO so much of my money in the last 12 months
