Nice images. Thanks for sharing. Alan, very nice drawings. I have seen

Thanks for the kind words. 

Its pretty easy actually, a friend showed me his method and the most time
consuming part is preparing the disc...which I try and do in advance. At the
eyepiece I am only erasing in the plage areas and then drawing in filaments,
prominences , spots, fibrils, etc. 


Awhile back I posted my "method" here:

Nice image Chris- 

I observed the sun early this morning in my Lunt 60mm and made a sketch
which is posted on my blog at:

It is nice to see so many active regions at once.
