Cracking shots Jim!

Are you using a UV/IR block filter?

The TiO filter blocks out past 1100nm looking at the transmission curve that was supplied when I bought mine...

Absolutely fantastic!
The level of definition and detail is "world-Class"
I'm impressed!!!!!!
(You know what would be very interesting to see - a similar Ha set of images, taken at the same time, superimposed and faded to/ from the white light images to show the differences in the AR and the umbra/ penumbra.....)
