Hi all thought you may be interested in these. I have been fortunate enough to get a Lunt 100mm Single stack.The eyepiece view is literally unbelievable especially the Filaments. Here are a few pics captured with a GSTAREX video camera and stacked in Registax 5 with a little more in Picasa.

Lovely images Derek. The prominences look out of this world! In #4, there is a long filament on the disc at around the 11 o-clock position that looks awesome.

Congratulations on the new gear btw!

Cheers

Some lovely sharp shots there Derek, especially the big prom. The full disc shot is a little dark IMO.

Nice prom detail there Derek! Congrats on the 100mm Lunt. I got the LS80 and am happy. The 100 is right in the sweet spot for seeing and brightness. Look forward to some great shots. Wanna swap scopes? :)

Thanks all. Al any comments appreciated good or bad. The disc was a quick test shot. I put a 0.5 Focal Reducer on my camera and got the full disc on the chip(1/2"). Great for a quick overview.
