Good morning everyone,
as I said in my presentation post, I am a solar newbie.
These are my first solar takes and I would like to improve my skills of studying the behavior of Our Star in photosphere and chromosphere.
The Lunt 60, used in these pics, is from a friend of mine who kindly borrowed me its equipment.
Cannot upload pics in the forum space, so I'm going to add links:

Re: Images of past days in white light
Those are really very good. For the white light photos, did you use any additional filters along with the ND3 ?

Re: Images of past days in white light
Thank you so much for your visit and appreciation.
I knew that 120mm resolution would give me good results, but I did not expect to reach granulation details!

I did apply Continuum filter after the ND3.

Re: Images of past days in white light
Amazing shots, I would never have thought that this was taken by a beginner.
