Hello all: on Friday only a short window of opportunity to shoot, on Saturday more time for a session. The sun is relatively quiet but I did not want to miss another week. Experimenting with the new Lunt wedge and different cameras.
Hope you had a nice and sunny weekend.

These look great Franco 
Too bad the activity has waned from what it was, but according to SpaceWeather there may be some new activity appear early in the week.

Re: Quiet sun January 27-28, 2023
Thank you Alexandra, Arne, Mark, Stu and Warren. Mark: for the CaH sunspots closer look I used the PG Flea 3 3.2Mp camera, my oldest one. It still does really well in certain circumstances.
