Heya,
Woke up to clouds, but then around 11am it started to break up and cleared up, seeing was not great, so I lowered my imaging scales. Managed to image in 3 scales to tempt the seeing and slowly creep up, from 60mm to 80mm then 150mm. Then the seeing fell apart, 200mm wasn't an option this afternoon. Wonderful to see a limb spot throw filaments up and out as prominences, my favorite are limb spots! Full disc with 60mm. Next step up was 80mm. Largest was 150mm.
B&W:
Colored:
Earth Scale:
Equipment:
C8 Edge HD + Aires 200mm Tri-Band D-ERF + Baader 2" UV/IR Block Filter (masked to 150mm due to seeing)
Orion ED80 F7.5 APO
Orion ST80 F5 masked to 60mm Achromat
Daystar Quark Chromosphere
ASI174MM + 0.5x Focal Reducer
Very best,

Great set of images, Marty. Glad you caught it on the limb. I missed this one.

These are cracking Marty, I love limb shots of active regions too it is so much easier to see the activity.
