Question : Can you see sun spots as well as prominences? And what difference does the calcium-k pst make?
You can but really white light filters are probably better for sunspots and H alpha better suited for prominances..but people have taken some stunning images of sunspots with a PST-notably Pete Lawrence of Selsey observatory

As for Ca K -for the vast majority of people -you will see nothing.It's mainly for imagers though some people do report being able to visually observe with a CaK
