I did some simple imaging before but the freezing temperature and a nearby street light stopped me from doing something more serious. My Nexstar mount was found dead soon after arrival, it worked once or twice, but then I found a nylon gear was totally stripped afterward.
I got a az-gti mount as a replacement. I tried to take image of the sun for two consecutive days, but I found imaging in front of a simple window platform is actually much easier. The very bright sunshine is making the notebook screen less than readible.
After much struggling, I got this silly image but at least I know the az-gti is working, and the Solarmax 60 is still alright after travelling over 9600km across the ocean.
