First Solar Image

First time trying solar imaging;

ZWO ASI224MC & Lunt 60mm PT Ha scope, no focal reducer so can't get full disk with this camera.

On the road, travelling so this is the only camera I have with me...

If you look closely you can see some sun spot activity, couldn't see any prominences.

Feel free to make suggestions, constructive criticisms, etc...

Thankyou for looking

Welcome to the world of Ha solar imaging, image looks nicely focused. Not much activity on Sol atm but there is a small sunpot which should show up in your scope though spots in Ha are more difficult to see than in white light.
Look forward to seeing more from you now, the more the merrier so they say.

Hi Jeff,

I saw the small sunspot quite clearly visually. It's there in the photo but, barely visible...

Definitely more images to come, that's for sure
