Havent had a H-alpha solar scope for many years now, so I decided to get one again  

Ha: Lunt 40 + ASI1600MM

WL: 100mm apo + ASI1600MM

Great images!

Well done! Lots of fine detail! 

Remarkably good considering how low the sun is at this time of year.

Very nice. It's a good time to be getting into Halpha as we are heading into the next maximum.

Interesting to see a Lunt 40 being imaged with, which blocking filter size is it?

I bought one last year for visual use,
but I am tempted to try an image or two, we will see.

The Lunt 40 is a sweet scope price wise and image wise.

Its the B600 blocking filter. Yes its good value for money I think

The same as I have.
Now more tempting than ever to have a try one day soon.
