About this image

This was first light with this scope and a monochome camera combination.

I have used Astroart 6 to convert to colour data format (looks nicert than black and white!) then "curves" within the histogram functions to bring out detail from the chromosphere as well as the disk features. There is a lovely long prominence visible on the visible disk - to the right hand side of the image.
