 Very poor
            weather this year has totally prevented any serious solar imaging
            until this morning. Seeing was 2/5 which is not great, but the
            granulation did resolve in manhy of these shots. Two sets are
            shown here, the first white light using a Baader 10nm Continuum
            filter and Baader Herschel wedge. This is in the green band.

            
The second set
            is with a 2.4nm wide Lunt B600 Calcium K filter and shows some
            of the amazing details at this wavelength.
