Ha Full Disk 13th April

Todays seeing conditions were some of the worst have come across for a while and despite trying different scopes and setups the only one that really worked was the Ha full disk, taken with the Lunt 50 double stacked with the Daystar Quark.  Despite at first sight the disk looking blank there is quite a bit going on, there were subtle prominences, a whole host of small filaments, bright points and turbulent plage where the bright points from a couple of days ago came over the limb.  When the sun presents features like this a double stack setup is by far the best way to view them.
