Quark_Orion ED 80 and ASI 120mm first image

[Singlin]

After having just bought a second hand Quark here on the Forum I have just taken my first image of the Sun.

I have alot of banding which I beleive can be avoided by using a tilt adjuster.

Good start!

Yes, a T2 tilter should suppress those Newton Rings.

Good stuff, welcome to solar imaging, which camera are you using, you could try using a cheap .5x focal reducer, helps when the seeing isn't great and alters the focus point so may help with Newton Rings.

I use a Point Grey Blackfly camera and get Newton Rings but no sign of them when using a .5X focal reducer, about £20.00.
