First Light SkyRaider DSm 7.12.2015

Here are a couple of first light images I took yesterday with the Coronado DS. I was fighting a buggy USB connection with the camera, so it was hard to get optimal focus and exposure, but the results are pretty good. These are single images with unsharp masking and colorizing in Photoshop.

The sun is fairly quiet, but the images show long filaments and ARs 2381 & 2385.
