Saturday's Lookin' at the Sun

With limited time and rare clear skies, it's been tough spending a couple of hours at the scope for some solar imaging, but this Saturday offered a bit of time to indulge.
Having to organize the Televue Nagler eyepieces recently obtained, I took apart the the 102mm Refractor and the Hershel Solar Wedge for some cleaning. Looking out the workshop door, the Sun was shining mostly and I set-up the CG5 mount and popped on the Refractor.
Decent Sunspots and other solar artifacts to capture in both wavelengths.
The Coronado 60mm Solar Scope did well in teasing out Hydrogen-Alpha views even as the clouds thickened...
