It's amazing how a solartelescope can summon so many clouds in no time. There wasn't a single cloud in the sky when i dragged my gear out.
Before i got started with the recordings there were loads of thick, big clouds. So it took several hours just to get a few shots.

All images were recorded in double stack mode.

0.5x focal reducer


Alternative of the above.



1.5x barlow - Mosaic, that's all i could get.

2 frames with 5 minutes between them. Just to show how much movement there was in that prom. Would have loved to make a time lapse of it.
Kinda looks like two giants fighting eachother with the one to the left wearing a cape



The last shot i sneaked in between the clouds.
