Great images, the limb shot is fantastic. With the Lunt DS i have trouble to do this.

These are excellent Christian, looks like you're getting nice fast exposure time too.

Thansk to all !
Dennis, I was lucky to have a very bright prominence. So it might be possible to do the same with a DS Lunt Ca K. Still with longer exposure time.
Mark, indeed the high peak transmission of the Alluxa filters (> 80%) makes the difference for keeping exposure short and freeze turbulence.
