Second go with Daystar solar scope

[simmo39]

Hi all, well had my second outing with the scope. It is now fitted with a heath robinson motor focuser! makes life a little better. Here are 2 of my runs today, both suffer from newton rings which i will need to deal with in the future. I had to crop the first image as i was heavy handed in the stretch and had all kinds of white bits showing, still i am happy to get someting but need to learn more about the magic art of proccessing solar stuff!  any hints, tips and pointer most welcome.

Looking very good.  I tried flats etc, and in the end I bought a tilt adapter, and the rings are gone.  Worth the £40.

Thanks, I have got one here but at the moment i cant get it fitted due to spacing issues, I need to get hold of a 10 to  15mm spacer.
