AR2781 and Full disc 11-11-2020

AR 2781 continues to entertain us as the sunspot decays, but there is some new activity to the East . Here are todays images in Ha and WL, taken with my Lunt DS 50/60 and Skywatcher ED100 with my homemade wedge.

Great images, love the full disc which also shows the new activity rotating into view. Will it be another sunspot, we will know in a day or so.

Thanks for all your comments, Ken it's a reverse mounted 11/4"star diagonal mounted in a collimated cell inside an aluminum box made from two pieces of angle bolted together. Which I then bored out on my lathe. the back is open with a diffuser made from a heatsink that has been also bored out back to the vanes, and painted black to stop any reflections going back into the prism. As its for imaging only, I use a variable polarizing filter to further cut down the light . I image at .6ms at unity gain on my ASI120mm camera. I also use an IRcut and solar continuum filter.
