 Halpha:

            
Lets start with
            the full disk, with the .5x focal reducer:

            


            
And the view
            of the proms only:

            


            
Now we put in
            the 3x Klee barlow:

            


            
 

            


            
 

            


            
 

            
And for some
            prom close ups, depsite the really bad seeing:

            


            
 

            


            
 

            


            
 

            


            
 

            


            
 

            


            
 

            
Finally, the
            shot of the big active region in the red wing of Halpha to show
            the tiny white spots around the active region known as Ellerman
            bombs which are micro flares.
