This is my second ISS solar transit. Captured 12/07/2019 on the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge at 11:22 am EST. SharpCap video acquired using a Lunt LS-60THAD/B12C and ZWO ASI 174mm camera mounted on a Takahashi EM 11. Transit lasted 0.92s with thirteen frames captured at 15 fps. Processed and Stacked in Photoshop. Due to high thin clouds focus and sharpness were a little bit light.

Solar Surface – 06/02/2019

This photo shows the sun in H-alpha light. It is a selected single exposure, which I processed HDR-like and colored afterwards. A dark spot is visible near the upper left edge. On the right side of the picture you can see a bright structure on the surface and a remarkable protuberance at the edge.
