New DMK31 and today's Sun

Hi all

I played with my new DMK31 today - through my trusty Solarmax 40. It was quite frustrating as the clouds hung around for most of the afternoon - it was of course clear this morning but I was out shopping - arrrrgh!
Every time I left the scope there was a break in the clouds - but eventually with about 40 minutes of sun left it cleared and I 'hopped' all over the Sun.
I am OK imaging filaments and sunspots (when they are about) but I am hopeless at prominence - and there were 4+ good ones today - I tried and have included all of my images from today.

Nice filament
Four prominence
and almost a full disc at prime focus

I hope you enjoy.
