Hello everybody: a short session yesterday before work produced this two image mosaic of AR2816 and the new emerging sunspot. I used the 6" refractor and the Quark Sodium.

Thank you Terry, Stu, Alexandra and Peter for your kind words. I did not realize when I posted that there is some strange vertical banding occurring in the image. It never happened before with this filter. I will try to check what is happening and why.
