Details:
We have a solar tornado today on the Sun, and a quite stable one. Here is one image (in three different processing versions: red for visual aspect at the eyepiece, false color for the artistic aspect, grayscale for contrast, all with inverted views of the disk) acquired in the poor afternoon seeing (hot air, clouds rolling in). A 90000 frames animation is in the making.
I had my wife help me with this one, centering the subject as my mount was not properly polar aligned following some setup modifications. Good old teamwork :)
