The Sun in white light and Hydrogen Alpha 29/12/24:

A Sky Watcher 80 ED triplet was mounted on an iOptron CEM26 mount and fitted with a Herschel Wedge to view the Sun safely using a 26mm eyepiece. An Apollo-M-Mini camera with x 2 Barlow was then used to take a 2,771 frame SER using Astro DMx Capture; 15% of which were stacked in Autostakkert!4, with the resultant Tiff file wavelet processed in Registax and finished off in Pixinsight Solar Toolbox and Adobe Photoshop 2024.

A PST was then attached to the side of the mount and the same camera and Barlow were used to image the Sun in hydrogen alpha light with a 678 frame SER taken in Astro DMx Capture and processed in a similar same way.
