Just finished processing this monster, which at full scale is 11000 pixels across, so too big for this website...see the link later in the thread...here's some teasers though!
F40...DMK21AU04.AS around 8GB of data..
And a somewhat enjoyable day out with my new "PST"
Massively cropped and reduced to fit..
Plenty more to come...

Nick, Great images. By the time the sun was going past western Canada, there was more on the disc. If you are clear tomorrow morning take a peek. There's a large filament, and what appears to be two small active areas to the north. They all were easy to see in the PST around 4pm local time. Keith

Lovely shots there Nick. Is this the plain vanilla PST or the modded version you were discussing on UKAI ? Either way the images are stunners!

Thanks everyone
The moderators here asked me to remove some images due to size constraints (or edit them down)..so I removed them..
Here's the final shot at full resolution..
Some adverts unless you have adblock in Firefox, but stick with it...it's well worth the trouble!

Thanks for looking...
EDIT: Think these images have upset a few people who have spent $$$$$$$/££££££ on much bigger scopes...
