Heya,

So I got a Daystar Quark today in the mail. Finally get to look at the sun in Hydrogen Alpha with my current scopes (well, the refractors anyways).

First light with the Quark, and first time imaging in hydrogen alpha narrowband. Hard is an understatement. This sloppy composite is my first attempt and will serve as a reminder of how it started when I look back in a few months and hopefully can do better by then.
