H-alpha light
A Solarmax II 60, BF15 H-alpha scope was mounted on an iOptron Cube Pro AZ mount and an SV305 Pro monochrome camera was placed at the focus. Overlapping, 2000-frame SER files were captured of two halves of the Sun. The best 65% of the frames were stacked in Autostakkert!, wavelet processed in Registax 5.1 and post-processed in the Gimp 2.10.

White Light
A Panasonic Lumix DMCFZ72, 60x optical zoom bridge camera fitted with a Baader solar filter and mounted on a static tripod was used to capture 135 images of the Sun. The mages were precisely cropped in AstroCrop, Stacked in Autostakkert!, wavelet processed in Registax 5.1 and post processed in the Gimp 2.10.
