Solar Images 2010

Below are first images made with a Lunt LS60Tha Double stacked with LS50FHa filter. The original BF600 blocking filter was not use, instead I used an old Coronado (Isle of Man) BF30. I only had about 45 minutes of viewing and imaging opportunity due to work and clouds, but it was a memorable first light for this instrument. There are quite a few reflections which will had to be dealt with during image processing, I need to understand better the interaction between the LS60THa and the double stack LS50FHa filter and their tuning. The visual aspect was gorgeous.
