Made an early start as the forecast looked more promising early. Paid off with some nice blue skies and the unexpected bonus was that there was a new AR to look at too
Started off with some white light, an FD using the 1100D / Lacerta Wedge / Continuum filter. Took 130 frames and stacked 50.
Then broke out the ASI for some close up views. Still using the Lacerta wedge with continuum and UV IR cut filters.
Then plugged in the Ca-K wedge
Finally grabbed the PST for a look at the H Alpha side. Clouds were starting to be a problem by this point so grabbed a couple of ser's before packing in for the day.

Re: May the 4th Solar Activity
I am also seeing the prominences there too
Just for info, if I ever come over as "blunt" or upset it is not intentional, I am AUTISTIC, I have Aspergers, and ADHD, Autism, so my apologies if I ever sound, unintentionally confrontational. Thank you

Re: May the 4th Solar Activity
What a nice set David It was clear for me too at 8.30am, seeing was terrible but by 9.30am everywhere was full of cloud. You did well to get all three lights, I barely managed Halpha
