The Sun in Ca K-line light

An 80mm Ekinox ED refractor was fitted with an Antlia Ca K-line Herschel Wedge. An Altair 462M2 camera was placed at the focus. The scope was mounted on a Solar Quest solar finder and tracker mount. AstroDMx Capture was used to capture two overlapping 1000 frame SER files of the Sun. The best 90% of frames in the SER files were stacked in Autostakkert!4, stiched in MS ICE, wavelet processed in waveSharp and further processed in Gimp 2.10 and ACDSee.
