Hi all,

This weekend I made my first solar image of 2018. I used my 150mm f/10 pst mod, the scope was recently rebuilt to a carbon fibre truss to reduce internal tube currents.

Still some fine tuning to do, but it's heading in the right direction. This a 4 pane mosaic taken with a DMK31.

 

Thanks for checking it out.

Regards,

Pieter

Can't imagine what you'll capture once you've fine tuned it!!! That's outstanding.

Not sure which is more impressive, the image of the Sun or your scope
