White Light AR0978 new

First, I apologize. Since I spent the $500 for my Herschel Wedge last January the sun has gone quiet. I had no idea the curse extended into solar observing. Honest guys, I thought it just brought clouds for a while.

Here's a white light shot of AR0978. 120mm ACHRO refractor, 2" Baader wedge and handheld canon a/40 through 17mm EP (Stratus)

Doing the post processing with the wedge images is tricky because the wedge catches so much detail. I need to get the canon XT into the action once I figure out the stiletto focuser.
