Hope this pic help's.

Thanks Jeremy, appreciate your comment.

My solar scopes are the most used scopes that I have.

Hi all, lovely imaging session yesterday 15th April. New Active region also on the South Eastern limb. Lunt 60mm DS and 100mm CaK scopes with Zwo Asi 178mm Camera.

Hi, for my lunt 60mm b1200 and zwo asi camera the focuser is only just out about 3 notches on the focus tube. Probably about 5mm.

Nice captures, thanks for sharing.

Lovely captures, thanks for sharing.

Lovely dayscopes.

I often pick up proms in Calcium K-line using the Lunt b1800 module and the 100mm achromatic stopped down to 90mm Luke.

Hope your weather improves.

Thanks, just a bit of fun.

Hi all, images from todays session. Lunt 60mm and 100mm CaK scopes.

Thanks Paul, much appreciated.

Lunt 60mm plus 2.5x powermate and 100mm plus b1800 CaK module and 2.5x powermate.

Really pushed to scope to much today, seeing wasn't great but I did use the 2.5x powermate on the Lunt 60mm and 100mm Cak.

Just processed the Eiffel Tower or is it Blackpool? Interesting difference between CaK (Blue/Purple) and HA (Red).

Yes, at one point I thought it looked like the Eiffel tower. Lovely spot group too. Just a few pics with phone of screen.

Lovely Lunt wedge, I've got the same for white light.

Thankfully they aligned ok. Really love the way it's gone and never used telescope's so much. So easy now being in the dome. A couple of clicks of the mouse and they're pointing at the sun. Means I can observe when there's a small break in the clouds.

Show's everyone once bitten by the solar bug that's it, lol. Watch the bank account dwindle, lol. Mine has evolved too, lol. From little beginnings to full blown, Hydrogen Alpha, CaK and White light. Next is to triple mount them all, lol.

Sun in white light is rather quiet at the moment. Hopefully activity will ramp up soon. At least we're on our way to solar max in a few years so can only get better. A solar continuum or badder cak line, baader cak only for imaging, both filters help. I have a white light filter on my 11xlt and best observing in the morning or late afternoon. Baader filter image with 70mm refractor attached.

All I have is this, puts me to shame.

Not night time but my new solar Ca-K frac with little brother ha scope

Fitting it with the hitecastro usb control means it can be very fast or slow and everything in between.
