I loved my Lunt 40 mounted on my SW Solar Quest mount.  If you ever get a chance to try that mount it tracks the sun perfectly.

Nice set up 😀 Not sure how field rotation would affect the imaging process with an alt/an mount though? With a long avi there should be some field rotation introduced from the mount?

Another go with the Lunt 40. Super fast and easy to set up with the little EQ3 mount, instead of the heavy NEQ6  which I use for white light 😄

That Lunt 40 was a great scope mounted on my SW Solar Quest mount with HelioFind, it tracked perfectly, very easy to use, great views as can be seen, lI sold it a couple months ago and bought the Lunt LS50 only because I want to try the Pressure Tuning.

Yes Im happy with it. Did the pressure tuning improve things compared to tilt tuning?

Some northern lights last night and today crisp clear blue sky 🤩

Another go with the Lunt 40. Pretty impressed with the visual views from it and today was a really great day with lots of activity 😃

Interesting to see a Lunt 40 being imaged with, which blocking filter size is it?

I bought one last year for visual use,
but I am tempted to try an image or two, we will see.

The Lunt 40 is a sweet scope price wise and image wise.

 

Its the B600 blocking filter. Yes its good value for money I think 

Great capture 👍😃

Havent had a H-alpha solar scope for many years now, so I decided to get one again

After beeing a bit quiet for a few days, this was a great come back

Hi Johan what filter system are you using. I can see its white light but what specifically are you using. Looks like you had good seeing. 

Very nice detail. 

Hi! Thank You  

Im using baaders continuum filter. I have had it for many years now and it seems to be working still. The seeing was okey at times. This was a 600 frames stack from around 10 000 frames.

Cak and White Light. Would be nice to add H-alpha also

Very cool flyby!

Nice set of images  

Clear blue sky today so I took the opportunity  Not too much going on in white light other than some small ARs, but some nice acitvity in CaK.

A few night ago the moon was unusually beautiful when it was about to set in the west. The atmosphere made it appear extra red although it was relatively high above the horizon, and it gave it a blood moon feeling.

Venus is getting thinner and increasing in size at a very fast pace now. This is just over 2 weeks time and its interesting to see how fast its changing.

All images taken with 100mm APO, 3x barlow and ASI 1600MM

Clear skies!

Really cool! Well done!

Blank Sun this morning but at least some proms

PST + ASI1600MM

Clear Skies!

Thats an excellent image, well done!
