Very nice Steve. You are becoming our number 1 white light imager! I feel white light is the most important of all the imaged and observed " wavelengths " here. It's the starting point of solar observing for most if not all of us and is the photosphere is the deepest layer of the Sun that we can visually see. How can we relate to the layers of the chromosphere that we see/image in Hydrogen-Alpha and Calcium light unless we can connect it to how it relates to the photosphere. Then there is the corona far above that most of us can only see in professional images and during eclipses. I am glad you see the importance and beauty in white light imaging.
