Another go with the Lunt 40. Super fast and easy to set up with the little EQ3 mount, instead of the heavy NEQ6  which I use for white light 😄

I loved my Lunt 40 mounted on my SW Solar Quest mount.  If you ever get a chance to try that mount it tracks the sun perfectly.

Nice set up 😀 Not sure how field rotation would affect the imaging process with an alt/an mount though? With a long avi there should be some field rotation introduced from the mount?

Not familiar with your issue but I do know that it keeps the sun dead centre in my scope over a long period of time, once you fine tune where you want it in your view. Thats why I mentioned if you could some how try one before buying one. That one cost me about $700 C + tax / ship.
