The sun today

Had a quick look at the sun today. Couldn't see much happening with Ha in the eyepiece so popped on the camera. A few small proms but when I really cranked up the gain, there was a massive prom sitting there. Quite faint, had to increase exposure time up to 21ms to get the gain down to a reasonable level. Stack of 500 frames from 2000 taken with ZWO ASI290MM through a Lunt 60mm Ha Scope with ZWO EAF Focuser on a Feathertouch focuser and mounted on an Orion AZ/EQ G mount. Processed with PIPP and Registax and some levels tweaked in Photo shop.
