This is my first sketch of the sun in H-alpha using my new solar scope Lunt LS60THa. The Lunt Zoom eyepiece, 7.2 – 21.5 mm, was used. Seeing was 3/5.

Jean,
Beautifully done and most colorful.

Jean,
This is very striking. I could only think “Wow” when I first saw it!

Jean,
I had the same impression as Thia when I clicked on your sketch.
Jean,
So detailed and beautiful!
Good luck
Jean,
what a beauty! This is pure art..
Can you describe how you did it, and what you used for the sketch?
I like this very much, this is almost better then the real thing
