Thanks guys....nothing fancy...I was going to remount the AP155 but wimped out and simply shoved a 2x barlow into the little Taka 106Q.

Was also a little slack in the post capture processing...a more gradual blend from the disk to the limb seems like a good reason to spend a little more time imaging old Sol ;)

I love the huge field of view (mosaic? what cam?) for these views are rarely given.
