Sunspot 1429 in multiple wavelengths

Finally got some sky today! Shot Ha, Ca-K, and white light. Seeing was crazy today. Conditions would go from a 3 to a 1 in just a matter of seconds. I could tell after a while when pockets of turbulence were beginning, end exposures and wait till they passed to start anew.
I really like having the Ha and white light/ ca-k scopes side by side.

For Hydrogen Alpha I used a Lunt solar Systems LS60THa with a 2.5x Powermate and a Canon 40D.
For the White Light and Calcium K images I used an Orion EON ED80 with Baader Hershel Wedge and a Baader Calcium -K Line Filter. Same Camera captured avi video file.
Stacked in Registax and processed with Adobe Photoshop.
