These top two images are actually from 7th Nov. 2024 - 5 days of practice with equipment & software shows good improvement over the original images (from 2nd Nov.) posted on this page.
Above is the inverse of the true image below.
With little chance of completing (anytime soon) a deep sky image started a month ago - I have decided to post an image of our nearest star (or part of) - taken on 2nd November. The data for Solar images can be gathered in minutes rather than hours or weeks needed for deep sky objects. One takes short videos through special filters (Hydrogen alpha in this case) and then stacks a percentage of the total frames gathered to bring out detail. These images still take some time to process - a process that I am still getting to grips with.
The upper image shows the detail better but from what I can gather, one is encouraged to post the original alongside the inverse image - as I have done here.
Equipment Used:
Scope: Double Stacked Coronado Solarmax III 90mm telescope - BF 15 @ f/8.9.
Camera: ZWO ASI678MM.
Barlow: Nil
Frames: 20% of 1000 frames - @ 24FPS.
Exposures; 7 ms
Scale: 0.96 Arcsec/Pix

Another video run (02Nov24) - another image - with a bit more activity on a different section of the limb.
