Hydrogen-Alpha Solar Photos

All Hydrogen Alpha photos were taken with a Coronado PST, mounted atop an Orion ST-80 (see white light images) on a Celestron CG5 Advanced Series GOTO mount The capture device was a  Meade LPI. With the exception of the full disk, which was imaged at prime focus, a Meade shorty 3X barlow was used. All the images were processed using Adobe Photoshop. The Photoshop tools used were: levels, curves, unsharp mask and channel splitting. They were all imaged in color, and some of them were converted to greyscale.
