Amazing images, Bill.
Looking at Sol with a plain old "sun filter" can never be the same. :shock:

Excellent result, Bill. I really like the improved version.

Are those your full-resolution versions? (If not, do you have a link to a full-resolution version? )

Bill, yours is about the best solar image I could find on the bulletin board. Unless you've got a copyright objection I'm submitting it for use on the May 2nd Dan Yorke show.

Bill,

I've no control over the pace of the show. The last time we did Dan Yorke they flew thru the images I'd given them with little chance to comment. I can try to describe what's being shown but may or may not have the time to add that "This image was taken by ASSNE member Bill Lee." Yorke really moves things along and the best I can probably do is emphasize that all images shown were taken by local astronomers from ASSNE or Skyscrapers. If Dan keeps the very fast pace he did last show it’ll probably go unattributed. If that's a problem I've got some sunspot photos that can be substituted.

Bill,Andy and all, your photography skills are amazing, what I would like to know what single element is the key to getting your skills to this level?? equipment, programs, or is it just experience and knowing what to do and when to do it?? I for one would consider this subject a good subject for a meeting form a knowledgeable person, or perhaps two of you presenting together. As for myself I am reluctant to get anything affordable and finding out later it's junk.with the influx of new people and our friends that come from the online meeting group, it would be a very popular subject
