Many filaments
Those new Active regions - '54 and '55
a nice even field with good limb darkening

Some other obs
-I get those lines too sometimes, Im leaning twrds bad seeing artefacts but sometimes its due to the optimize phase of Regi - try going straight to stack
-Try to get your orientation right. Check the sun icon here for sunspots or somewhere like spaceweather. Rotate yur cam til the dec is vertical and the RA is horizontal
-Dont be afraid to crank the wavelets up - i use gaussian numbers 234. If its too noisey go to PS duplicate the background layer use filter-noise-despeckle and adjust layer opacity till u get the right balance.

Well done, these types of images are perfect for keeping a "Solar Diary" of how the Sun progresses thro its cycle.
