My first decent image in Hydrogen Alpha (656.28 nm wavelength).
Combining a well exposed image of the Sun's disc with an over exposed image to show prominences.
Stacked from two 60s 20fps videos, the first a well exposed Suns image, the second over exposed to reveal prominences.
Scope: Coronado PST
Mount: Celestron Advanced GT
Camera: Altair Astro 290 M3
Processed with Registax 6, combined and colourised in Photoshop Elements.
