I managed to grab one shot today in between clouds before the sky completely clouded over. Awesome prominences today on the west limb! Taken with a Lunt LS50mm with 600 blocking diagonal and double-stack module, using a Skyris 132m camera. FireCapture for capture, stacked in Autostakkert2! and processed in Photoshop.

Thanks Terry. My first time using Firecapture, which I like better than IC Capture. My raw video for the above image has passing clouds in about half the frames, so I was pretty surprised that the final image was decent.

Thanks Roberto! I just made a donation to Torsten Edelmann, the developer of FireCapture. The above image was the first time I used his program and I only had time to take one video due to cloudy conditions. A bit of beginner's luck, I guess. The above image was chosen by the SOLARACTIVITY group on Facebook as their "Picture of the Day".
