Very sad news I never had chance to read any of his threads as I am to new on here , my deepest condolences to his wife and family

Brilliant images I hope I can get some this good I have the same camera but a bresser 127/1200

Welcome to SGL I started with the same scope had fun but soon upgraded

Still great shot Nigella love your images

Hi the ones that normally come with the scope are not good I upgraded mine to a top of the range SW one that allows 99% of the light into the eyepiece , if your worried about the screw marking the eyepiece get the 2 inch one and fit a self centering eyepiece holder like the baader click lock

The bresser is tight image around the Sun spots you can see the granular surface , the newt image is a little smaller it shows the Sun spots but harder to see granular surface , but I found it you use a phone to take a photo the newt works better , still working to get images from refractor using a phone or the ASL224MC

Hi I use my bresser 127/1200 with a Lacerta wedge and continuum filter and the views are great I would love to try a Lunt wedge to see what it better I also use my 8 inch Orion optics Newtonian with a Kendrick full aperture filter and that also works well , just love solar viewing

Mine does the same thing I just clear PAE then after 3 star alignment I do PAE training on 3 stars then I find it hits it's targets mine is on a tripod so I have to polar align every time

Hi it's a great image for a phone

Hi using a phone with out a mount is so hard so get a phone to eyepiece mount , depending on what phone you have there are loads of apps to control the phone camera , Samsung phones have the voice control so this stops the camera shake as you take the photo other makes may also be able to do this only had samsungs

Hi I had a go the other day but my wedge was at the caravan so used the VX8L and Kendrick filter but seeing was not good so a poor effort with smart phone

Polar alignment pro does everything from levelling the mount to polar alignment it also has day time polar alignment which is fairly good it's only a tiny bit out but I find using it day time then check at night Polaris is not out by much it will 100% be in the polar scope ready for fine adjustment

Hi the polar apps are just for the polar scope alignment , no synscan needed

Hi take a look at polar alignment pro it has different one here are the one it has

Brilliant images the Sun is amazing
