First light on my new Canon 700D - I thought that I would try it on he sun. This is a 2 frame shot. I don't think that I will use it in the future as it has no advantage over an Avi camera, but an interesting result never the less

At last a prolonged spell of sunshine enabling me to take more than one shot.

The first two are with my Lunt LS60, the others are with my Williams 102mm using the Lunt DS & BF, I also had a go a white light for the first time

Re: A decent set up for imaging with Lunt60?

I have recently switched to a OPticon Minitower for a motorized Mount , it is light and carries a heavy load, it also has a Sun goto setting, I am delighted with it.

Camera, don't make the mistake I made, go straight for the DMK 51
