A very nice set given the conditions, Alfred. It looks like finally we have a visible sunspot group on the edge of the disk. Looking forward to seeing your other images.

The weekend here will be sunny but I am going to NEAF.

]In contrast the images from the 150mm Celestron OMNI XLT refractor + ARIES D-ERF + Lunt 50 + ASI174 produce alot more details. This confirms that the PST Etalon belongs to the category of 80% fair quality.

Nice additions, Alfred. A good illustration of the need to match the scope with the conditions.

Hi Alfred,

The etalon in your LS50 scope is excellent! Good high res image with it!

Yes, it is a good etalon limited by seeing condition and my pp skills :)
