FD image of the Sun in H-Alpha from my 1st floor balcony on January 27th on a cold (-8 degrees C) and clear day.
Equipment used for this image was a Coronado SolarMax 60 II w/BF15 filter, Baader 35nm H-Alpha filter and ASI ZWO 178MM camera. Everything mounted on a Sky-Watcher SolarQuest mount.
Stack of the best 60% (1650 of 2751) images captured with an exposure time of 28ms and 30fps. Stacking done in Autostakkert 3, sharpening in AstraImage and contrast stretching in Adobe PhotoShop.
Best regards,
Arne

Re: Sun in H-Alpha 27th of January 2021
Except for the lack of the red color this looks quite a bit like my visual view today. Tiny filaments, Three ARs and prominences.
Surprisingly I could see the AR disturbance in the SW a bit better.
And like you I was using a SolarMax II 60 with a BF15!
