Orion SSAG Pro, Lunt LS50THa, 1/2500sec (2.5ms), 1200 frames (600 for disk, 600 for proms), Orion Atlas Tracking Mount, PixInsight, Lightroom

Please view in shadowbox

WARNING:  This image was created by using a specialized solar scope.  Never use conventional equipment to view or photograph the sun!

I took another crack at the sun, this time with a hydrogen alpha telescope.  The air was not very clear for seeing, and the sun was not particularly active, but I was able to capture some small prominences around the edge of the disk.

So much to learn about focus, capture and processing!
