Thanks Mark at Beaufort, it's an achromatic refractor, cheap as chips, 😂

Very nice. The closeup prominences is excellent.

[Roy Challen]

As always, a great set of images. No13 in particular, I watched that prom with goosebumps on my arms.

Another great set Nigella!

Incredible. And i agree with @Roy Challen - no.13 is awe inspiring. Fabulous.

[Nigella Bryant]

Thanks all, yeah, no13, my favourite too. First time capturing a post flare loop.

Lovely as always Nigella! Does that mean you’re using the 125mm scope for white light? How do you find it copes with the seeing compared with smaller apertures?

Thanks, yeah, I love the 125 for G-band. It needs a while to equalise thermally but does a great job in seeing the granulation, white areas within the granulation, a details within spot groups. I find it's best in G-band
