First one taken at 1514 (GMT+8) at prime focus:-
Next one close up at 1518 (GMT+8) with 2x barlows:-
I didn't look at the sun for long in H-alpha, and I didn't do imaging either. And this is the first time I got my hand on the RichView tuning. Seeing was very bad at 3/10, cloud moving around rather quickly with variable thickness.
Problem One: I couldn't use my Mark-X since the viewing angle was very bad, so I was using hand tracking or better say without tracking.
Problem Two: The new Solarmax is very front heavy, due to its bigger size and the added RichView tuning ring...
Problem Three: My DIY dec motor was not working for some reasons, I got to check.
Problem Four: I don't have a motorized focuser right now...
Anyway, the result is rather encouraging.
