Description

The Sun shot with a Lunt 80mm DoubleStack and an Explore Scientific ED152 CF APO with Baader ASTF Solar Film & a Baader Solar Continuum Filter.
The Ha portion of the image was shot with a ZWO1600mm and the White-Light side was shot with the ZWO2600mm.
Composited & colorized in Photoshop.

Yes, I realize the prominences are still visible on the white-light side. The technique I used to cut out the white-light disc and composite over the Ha disc created this effect. I know the proms are not visible in white-light.
