Hi,
It has been a while since I last posted an image of the Sun. I have made further progress on high-resolution solar imaging in H-Alpha, CAK, WL, G-Band wavelength. An example of H-Alpha imaging is shown below:
Setup - 8" 3-Band (H-Alpha, CAK and G-Band) full aperture Dielectric Energy Rejection Filter and a Celestron C8.
Looking at Sunspot AR12741 on 14 May 19:
You can do a right click to open this image in a new tab and will be able to see the image at full resolution.
You can see more on my twitter.com/yltansg
Drop me a pm if you are interested to know more. Invite your comments.

Re: High Resolution H-Alpha Solar Image
Thanks Kochu and CheeYiun.
It took me some time to experiment and find this optical train that produces a satisfactory image with my Celestron C8 SCT. I will next work on this C11 and see if I can get higher resolution images. Cheers.

Re: High Resolution H-Alpha Solar Image
Incredible detail! These must be some of the highest resolution solar images around

Re: High Resolution H-Alpha Solar Image
Thanks Ivan. After some tinkering, I am now able to produce this quality consistently. For high resloution imaging good seeing condition is essential. Good news is our local seeing condition is good. Next I am trying the next higher resolution with a C11 SCT.

Wow! The hi-res image from the 8” SCT is breathtaking! Couldn’t wait to see the next one on the C11.

Re: High Resolution H-Alpha Solar Image
18 Aug 19. Peering into the solar upper chromosphere in H-Alpha using a Celestron C11 SCT fitted with a full-aperture D-ERF. Despite being spotless, the Sun has many interesting 3-D wavy plasma features near its southern limbs. Seeing condition was poor. The Sun was covered with passing clouds throughout the imaging session.
The C11 solar scope setup:
Can expect better images from this setup.
