Another beautiful morning, much less wind and no pesky clouds. Very active surface, large prominence on SE limb and AR 2936, 2938, 2939, 2940 and 2941 all visible.

C&P,
You're certainly putting the Lunt 40 though it's paces.
A mono camera (ASI 178 or 290) might just kick to another level ;)
What acquisition and processing software are you using?

Thanks Ken.
We are hesitant on buying another camera at the moment having recently purchased the 178MC. But mono certainly would probably help.
We use ASICAP to capture SER video files.
Sometimes we join videos with PIPP.
Stack the videos with AutoStakkert!3.
Sharpen the images in Registax 5.1.
Post process in GIMP.
