I have another (probably dumb) question. Would it make sense or improve things (given unlimited dollars) to capture this with a high res, high frame rate, high dynamic range cinema camera...like Red Epic? 5K 120fps seems tailor made for this?
Red make nice camera, but I am unaware of any mono chip models. The lack of a Bayer matrix with mono sensors effectively triples ( thereabouts) their resolution when compared to colour sensors used in Red or any other cameras, particularly when used with extremely monochromatic sources such as h-alpha, hence I'm not sure there I'd notice any improvement over a 2.7k mono camera I'm currently running.

A multi-day solar animation sequence would be a nice challenge...were it not for the weather
