One of the best ameteur images of the solar limb, actually incredible. What apeture is the filter you used and also is it a stack of how many frames?

Many thanks for your so kind comments! – Well, our wonderful star helped me a lot with this image :-)

I used 15 % out of 1145 images – so about 170 images for stacking. The filter is a DayStar Quantum SE 0.6 with a full clear aperture of 38 mm. I like it most for the solar limb, of course its also fine for surface detail. Front filter is a 180 mm Baader D-ERF. Usually, I apply the Baader Telecentric Systems for getting f/18 or f/36 with that scope, however that time was a bit in a hurry and attached a Powermate I also like very much.
