Ken,
Very true , there’s only a small group in IIS of talented Solar imagers like yourself enjoying this field of our hobby.
I have to admit though since starting Deep Sky and Planetary imaging just over 6 years ago , the Sun (Solar imaging) didn’t provide a sense of wonder , excitement and amazement like DSO imaging under the Milky Way on a dark night, especially at mid range focal lengths of around 1000 to 1200mm.
Probably a narrow minded opinion but yes the Sun is ever changing and the images change in dynamics but at the end of the day it’s still a big active glowing ball of hydrogen. Probably a lack of understanding about our Sun contributes to a lack of excitement with Solar imaging too.
I do hope new comers to the hobby find an interest in Solar imaging as you have so much advice and help to offer them.
I’m glad you brought up this topic , it might spark a few new Solar imagers

Cheers
Martin
