I thought I would start this off with an interesting prom on old sol. Taken with a Lunt ED100 and Quark Chromosphere

Fantastic image!

Sun today, from the NASA NSO Solar Observatories, also known as GONG. This is the feed from Cerro Tololo Chile. You can check out the sun from 9 different solar observatories around the world.

I tweaked it in PS

Nice shot, I see granulation especially in the left about 8 pm! You will be all set for the April Eclipse

Beautiful...

I normally use the Canon RF 800mm f/11 for Sun and Moon shots, but since I'm planning to use the RF 100-400 for the eclipse in April, I wanted to practice with that. The shorter FL is so I can fit the entire corona in the FOV at totality.

I also tried processing this shot differently than the one in post #10, to reduce the darkening around the rim. This is a 100% crop from the Canon R7.

Well done!

I was too lazy to drive to where I could see the sun without trees being in the way so I just set up in my den out the window.

This filter I used is a Baader and shows the areas around the sunspots with better definition than the one that came with the scope. Not too much going on but a nice Group about the 11 oclock position.
These are single photos, not stacked. This scope tracks the sun fantastically and I will be using it for the eclipse in April

Great shots! I need to get out and practice for the eclipse. In 2017 I drove from central Ohio down to Kentucky and it was a nightmare getting home. Now I have the pleasure of viewing from my own backyard.

I will be doing the observatory program in RI again, last time we had 85% coverage and 400 people, this time we are expecting 91% and not advertising since most of our members are going to see totality so really no one to help at the observatory

Massive prom on the sun today. Taken with the solar scope at the Slooh Observatory in the Canary Islands live feed.
