A Hazy Sun 4-5-2015
The sun is still showing some nice activity at present. This image was taken with the PST-DS with an ASI120MM (evepiece adapter removed) held in place on the scope with a rubber band. The sky was hazy, but solar details were nicely visible. It's good to get pretty much the whole disk in a single image, but the edge falloff is pretty nasty. I'll keep working to see if I can improve the technique.
