Hi all
I was able to image for a little while before my house hold jobs took over. The Sun is quite impressive of late so there is always an opportunity if the clouds stay away.
I used the second filter on my Lunt60/Ha scope for image one - it really highlighted the prominences while maintaining details on the disc - it is a harder way to image as less light gets to the camera chip so exposure lengths are longer / slower frame rate / but contrasts are greater. I think it came out OK so I will use it more often.
Image two is of the same area utilising the single stacked option (my normal routine)
Image 3 is of a smudgy filament that is part of one over 700,000km long!
