My 1st Solar image

[Dinglem]

At last I have been able to get my new (to me) solar setup to work, I bought a Solarscope 50mm double stack filter system 2nd hand, with a Takahashi FS60C. Unfortunately I've been struggling to get it to focus, it had insufficient inward focus, so I reached out to Helmut Kessler at Solarscope for help, after exchanging emails and photographs it was agreed that I would send the 2" blocking filter to him and he would reduce the length of the nosepiece. This was completed in a week most of that time was spent in the post. Great service and communications from Helmut was much appreciated as I'd spent a considerable sum on purchasing the setup and a fairly inexpesive fix has calmed my nerves.

Anyway here is my first attempt, I need to learn to focus better and my processing skills will need improving a lot, I did use Bill from AnotherAstroChannel's Solar Toolbox script and watched his video to produve them.

Sorry I should have mentioned it was only using the single Etalon as it clouded over before I could attach the second one.

@Steve Ward@Planetary Observer thank you both for your kind words, I'm new to solar and know I have a lot to learn but I'm encouraged by your comments.
