Sun through Houghy's new Coronado Ha scope

Hi all
Houghy kindly lent me his new Coronado scope. Today I set it up and wow I was amazed at what I saw, the sun in vivid Ha detail, complete with promininces, and photosphere detail. I imaged it and used masking to skow the promimences and photosphere. Used modded 350D and 50mm F1.8 lens, hand held to my 16mm nagler. Bout 500th sec ISO 200.
