High winds today meant the 100mm scope was a no-no; it was flapping around in the wind like a sail, so, had to resort to using the 70mm which is much more tolerant of poorer conditions. This was taken at 1050mm focal length with the 2.5x powermate, Lunt wedge and baader continuum filter and DMk31 camera. The monster spot can still be seen to be sporting a very photogenic light bridge still.
