Nice work Peter once again. Fantastic prominence action. Perhaps I need to take off my front etalon to image the prominences. Just one request. Can you change the colour of the solar surface? I am pretty sure that our sun is not brown.

I never get tired of looking at your work Peter.

I see you use the AP155 which in itself is a dream scope. Does your rig get hot? How's the residual heat dissipated. Most of the light would have to be reflected out correct?

Indeed. H-alpha is deep red and beyond the Gamut of all LCD displays.
I thought I gave it a "golden" rather than "brown" look....that said, it's now brighter and more yellowish (you may need to refresh your browser)

Instrument heat has not been a problem. The Etalons keep the heat out. That said, I do all my solar runs in the morning to keep both local and day seeing at bay.
