Bill,
I am especially interested in your broadband CaK Antlia wedge. Comparing it to the last image, 540nm I presume I see the Antlia K-line wedge gives a better view of faculae across the disc. BIG plus! Keep posting both 540nm and 393.3nm so I can see them compared. Also during times of good seeing the broadband CaK filter would do even better on resolution than a 430nm filter. My seeing here especially in winter is generally substandard. I have a 430nm filter and rarely use it! I need to play with it more and see if it has any more of a positive effect on faculae vs the 540nm filter.

Keep posting those Antlia images!!

James

P.S. You need a vertical image flip.
