Astroshot,
These are really nice and the resolution is good, showing even the individual granules really well. That TEC140 paired with the Baader wedge and 4X Powermate did very well. Did you use a filter like a 430nm or 540nm filter? The older DMK41 camera did well too!

The DMK41 is a CCD camera, right?

Thanks James.
I used the Solar Continuum filter in the wedge as well.
Yes, you are correct, the DMK41 is CCD.
1,000 frames of which 50 were stacked.
