Today something new.  I took my SVC80 refractor, which I normally use for white light observing, and we mounted a Lunt 50mm Ha single stacked etalon in front, and used a BF600 at the eyepiece.  The three images shown are made in this configuration, without additional barlow, and a 2x Meade 140 barlow.  Compare the AR2524 images to yesterday’s image with the SM40 and the 3x barlow.  Today the Sun only shows one active region AR2524 with a total region area of 240 millionths (up a bit from yesterday).  Flare activity is low with one C-class flare in the last two days and a spot count of 3 only!!
