Disturbed Plage in The Southern Hemisphere - Ha & CaK - 4th July

Disturbed plage and not much else seemed to be the theme of the sun on the 4th April as these 2 images show. Taken with the 120mm scope at f28 with the Daystar Quark, home brew CaK filter and the PGR Grasshopped IMX camera. I like to be able to image both wavelengths at the same scale as I feel this gives good comparison. Need to be able to do this in Na wavelengths too...

Plage on the Eastern Limb - Ha & CaK 4th April

Both these small areas of plage on the eastern limb never really developed into anything all bar an occasional pore here and there. Taken with the 120mm scope at f28 using a Daystar Quark, home brew CaK filter and the PGR Grasshopped IMX174 camera.
