A Coronado Solarmax II, 60, BF15 H-alpha scope was mounted on a Celestron AVX mount. A QHY 5L-II-M camera was placed at the focus.
AstroDMx Capture for Linux was used to capture 2 x 5000 frame SER files of two overlapping images of the Sun exposed for the disk and 2 x 1000 frame SER files were captured exposed for the prominences.

The SER files of the disk were stacked in Autostakkert! and combined in Microsoft ICE. The resulting images were wavelet process in Registax 6 and post processed in the gimp. The images were combined and finally processed in the Gimp 2.10.
