This is the Sun in Ha through a Lunt 60 with Binoviewer.
However the insets are white light sun spots drawings using a SkyWatch 72 ED with Baader film and the Denkmier Binoviewer.
The text was added with Photoshop.

:text-thankyouyellow: Thank you all!!! I am humbled! As you can see I only have modest skills.
I was not able to draw today as I had other matters to attend to. I catch a glimpse through using the Denk Binoviews and Lunt 60
Again wow! Thank you all!
