How to image with a Lunt?

[Swoop1]

Just taken custodianship of my societies Lunt 60mm solar scope and intend to try it out with the Sony a6300.

What, if anything, should I do differently from when observing through it?

You'll need an adapter for your type of camera. I've only ever used a zwo asi120mm camera with my 60mm lunt with a 0.5 reducer for full disk imaging and a 3x Barlow for closer up imaging.

The 60mm Lunt has a T thread on the diagonal. You just need a Sony to T adapter and that should be you in business.

Thanks for the info folks.

Nice images Nigella!

One thing to bear in mind is the size of the sensor in the a6300.  Typically the Lunt 60mm scopes come with a b1200 blocking filter, the size of which will affects the signal to the outer parts of such a large (c sized I believe) sensor.  I get a full solar face with a 7.4x5mm with the focal length of the Lunt 60mm so expect a fair bit of unused area (which will negate the blocking filter issue anyway).

Look forward to seeing the images @Swoop1
