Lovely images again Pete. I used to look at professional websites for Ha details for reference to my visual observations but now much prefer to compare with yours. Specially appreciated when cloudy up here in the NW!

With getting that much cloud these days its breathless to see the sun forgot what it looked like.

Very nice images!

What camera are you using?

[Starman]

It's a Lumenera SKYnyx 2-0M planetary camera.

Incredible.

How much does it cost to get shots like that?

[Starman]

In this instance quite a lot as Solarscope filters aren't cheap, however even a basic PST can do some impressive stuff. The image below was one of the last I took with my unmodified h-alpha PST.

The PST is about £500 and I can't remember what camera I actually used for the shot below. However, a mono ImagingSource planetary camera would do the job just as well.

This one was also taken through a PST.
