Sol with a new (to me) telescope

[johnfosteruk]

I just bought a Skymax 102 from @nightfisher. Thought I'd give it a bash with the solar film.

It's mainly for Lunar, but It's not bad at all for white light either. Not up to the standard of this morning's images, but not sure whether that's the seeing or the image scale and aperture/obstruction or the film instead of the wedge.

Looks really good to me.  Nice to have an option that you know will work well for lunar and solar.

John, the Sol images are extremely good, i dont rate maks for Sol but looking at these you are of to a cracking start, roll on the Luna

 Interesting / Useful stuff. I often have in mind to do
these various "comparisons", but quite often the seeing 
changes(?) or it clouds over, while I'm swapping things!

The "Frankenscope" ST120 actually arrived today. Nowt
like having a new TOY to play with, whatever it is?
Nice to have all these spots for tests!

Lovely looking spots!
