The sun continues to show off even as it unfortunately sinks lower in the sky.
While driving back home from early morning errands, I heard that the weather was going to become heavily overcast at noon (an hour away).
So, after putting away some groceries, I set up in my yard and it became overcast a few minutes after I finished. I could see blue patches approaching and waited and had about 20 minutes worth of sporadic clear intervals to catch the images shown, although seeing was turbulent.

Excellent images, Lou! Especially double stacked.

Thanks, everyone
I should point out that the "double limb" isn't there in the original stacked image. It's the result of selecting out the disc for processing and then pasting it back into the prom layer.

Sounds like a typical observing session in the UK but at least you got some superb results, beautifully processed too

Hi Lou...
Nice captures
We have had variable sun and cloud all week...variable meaning clear while I'm at work and cloudy while home form lunch I did have a quick visual peek this morning and there was a nice collection of filaments, proms and AR's...but no time to image even if the clouds had stayed away.
Hope condition let you keep imaging a while longer.
