Hi
Was a still winter day today. Cold ground so Sun not having much effect.
90mm TS Triplet, 2" Baader 35nm, Baader T2 diagonal, 28.5mm polished baffle, 4.2x Chromo Quark, 20mm baffled 1.25" micro-focusser,
When I first looked there was a bright hedge at 1pm for me with a long pencil thin flare from the top side.
I tried eyepieces from 40mm to 12mm.
The 40mm Celestron Plossl and 32mm Meade Super Plossl were used with a polariser, which by dimming showed up more details.
The 25mm Clave' Plossl was the best. Especially on the prominences.
A 16mm Exta-Flat and 12mm Clave were dim and more seeing limited.

The bright hedge was above the spot just under 3.00 above.
A 'river of fire' leading down from the spot for me.
Using the polarisers helped to pick out brighter parts and also associated filaments.
A very pleasant session.
