    Amazing to think the "humble" bricks i played with as a child have morphed in to cinema films, computer games and fantastic items like this. What a product!

    Very nice level of detail there Avani, especially when you consider how far away from opposition we still are.

    Did you have any issues with vignetting because of the smaller diameter nose piece? I am thinking of upgrading from my DMK21au618 to a 174mm, even though i do own a 290mm.

    I was also looking at this on Stellarium, fingers crossed for some clear skies.

    WOW, that is some Solar aperture, not that 60mm is particularly small. Roll on cycle 25!

    Lovely sharp capture, the phase showing very nicely.

    I knew the clouds rotated quickly, I thought it was around 9 days. 4 days though would explain the big difference in the 2 images.

    The concentric rings are referred to as "newton rings" and are widely experienced, but curable. https://brierleyhillsolar.blogspot.com/2016/11/a-review-of-solutions-to-newtons-rings.html 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 🙂

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