Great shots. I am so glad you got them and posted them. I had been looking for sunspots every day for months and then finally they appeared. I tried to get some shots but I am new to astrophotography and try as I may, I just could not get a good shot. More practice is needed.

Thanks for adding your image, John. My full disk is with an SM40 on an Skywatcher ED80 with BF10 and Atik 0.5 focal reducer to get it in the frame with no mosaic.
Cheers
Robert

Superb! That single 40 yields a very evenly on band full disk image.
Definitely a "keeper", as I like to say, especially considering I am very partial to full disk imaging and viewing.

I know you like full disks, I have learnt a lot from looking at your amazing images over the last few years, thanks!
