Description

These images were taken this afternoon (Sept. 20, 2023 around 4 pm) with my 120mm f5 Orion achromat stopped down to 50mm, and using a DayStar Quark Chromosphere filter.  This was first light for me.  I made a number of 16 bit ser files to stack later on but here are a few screen shots from my session this afternoon.  The sun was very active.
