My explore scientific is the same, I just try to ignore the stars and concentrate on the gas.

Those look excellent. I'm not sure the 807 filter is very giving, but the detail from the Baader UV is amazing.

The only reason used it was because my 742 was in my filter wheel, just a bit lazy 🙂
The 807 is normally saved for really poor conditions

Venus is now at a very respectable altitude, plus some lovely clear skies. Perfect conditions (hopefully) to begin imaging it again.
Both images with Celestron C9.25, Asi290mm, Televue x1.8 Barlow and Baader UV filter. 25,000 frames captured, stacked 10%. Last image is with a Astronomik 807 filter.
Some nice detail visible on both days, particularly Saturday afternoon. It looks clearly like rotation visible to me over the 2 days?

Nice set of images as reward for braving the conditions!

No crime here, other than making me jealous of the level detail in the rest of the image 🙂

Suggestions for Solar Imaging with Lunt LS50THa B600

The concentric rings are referred to as "newton rings" and are widely experienced, but curable.

I used a 2nd hand eq1mfor a while, that only tracked in RA, which worked reasonably OK.
No extra filters required, unless you fancy double stacking your scope 🙂
