Ah..a 155mm H-ALpha filter...I wish The reality is it's still a 90 mm aperture when used with the Coronado.

As for the colour, as I mentioned earlier it should be really deep red, as that is the real colour of the chromosphere...but the data is mono, hence dealer's choice rules...and in my case I prefer a yellow-orange disk. Though I might post a roll-over "real" colour version

Thanks, but unless you are using the same camera, filter etc, it may be more of a hinderance than help. I'll think about it.
