I caught it with the new home made wedge, not as detailed as yours though, see the Herschel wedge thread.

The Aussie forums have picked up a very small spot group, so it's real all right
But very very small

That's the green dye in my eyes.
No that's how it appears in the eyepiece with the welders glass as a filter 
I'm using the Canon 20D set to B&W now.

Clearskies...nice work!...is the detail primarily from the continuum filter? I was under the impression they weren't all that great...appears I may have been mislead lol...I have a new H-A filter but have been unable to try it out as the clouds moved in 1/2 hr before it arrived  I thought about the continuum but I figured the HA can be used for other stuff as well thanks!
