Hydrogen Alpha Image of the Sun from Mid-Atlantic Star party

Star parties provide extended opportunities for me to leave my equipment setup and allow me to attempt to image the sun.  I experimented with many filters and barlow combinations on this day.  I imaged most of the day.  Special thanks to Peter Ward for his guidance in digitally processing this image.  You can see Peter's outstanding Halpha work here.
