I have a Starsense for my Skywatcher EQ6R it has been working fine and I have used it for solar, however at some point I had lost alignment (probably moved the mount manually) and haven't had clear skies to redo the alignment and parking and hiberation. Today I went to shoot the sun I turned on the mount and waited for the starsense to sync up, suddenly it started moving in RA about 100 degrees, didn't move in DEC and the scope almost ended up in my lap. It wouldn't stop no matter what I did so I turned off the mount. They I set it to Solar rate and moved it by the hand control to the sun and was imaging and 2 times it suddenly started to move about 15 degrees each time, it would do 15 deg and then 15 deg and stop, I am not sure what is causing this, my thought is that it is because it isn't aligned and it is angry... When It is aligned I can tell it to go to the sun and it does. any ideas? I am on hold for Hi-Point Tech support

AR2741 sunspots and proms Lunt ED102 f/7 and Quark Chromosphere The Lunt ED102 does a great job on the proms and spicules

I just send a request to join the group.

Running Win10, upgrade from 7. I also have Nebulosity on my old desktop (win10 upgrade from win7) and my win10 laptop. It works fine on the old desktop and the laptop but on my new desktop it runs fine in everything except Hue/Saturation. I get the H/S window to open and see the sliders but when I move a slider it crashes the program, this happens with every type of file fits, jpg, png, tif Steps Open picture file Click on Hue/Saturation Move any slider Crashes ******************** I have been trying to get in touch Craig Stark to see if we can get this fixed but no response. I have posted on Cloudy Nights and Astro Forum but no one there has any ideas. How can we make this work? My system is a Win 10 desktop 32 gig ram 8 gig of RTX video card 1 TB SSD C drive 2 8 TB D and E drives

My goto setup currently is my Celestron XLT102 f/6.5 (660mm) with Quark Chromosphere and ZWO ASI174mm, but is the skies are steady I will swap the 102 with either my Skywatcher 100ED f/9 or Celestron XLT120 F/8.3, for full disk I use my Lunt LS50. I also will break out my Lunt LS80 I just added a Lunt ED102 doublet to replace the XLT102 as the XLT102 is a department store type scope and this should get better quality. I want to go as big as I can for the atmospheric conditions.

WIth the 60 you should almost always find something on the limb. I have been using my Quark, have the LS80 in the den waiting for warmer weather but there is usually something

I have been observing solar for about a year now, did it as a way to avoid light pollution, but the biggest thing is that sun constantly changes!!
