Another observing session with the SolarQuest mount and cloudy skies. After first alignment (Heliofind) it helps to cover the solar sensor. Tracking was great for about 3h

Thanks guys
Everything is OK, the hurricane was the biggest since 1842. Rain and strong winds during the night
Derek: SolarQuest is a great little mount for outreach and solar observation, it works like a charm

What kind of dovetail do you use to handle the PST to solarquest sadlle?
Can handle the PST to solarquest sadlle with Versatile L-shaped dovetail bracket by rotating the sadlle to 90 degree?
Aleixo

Re: Today's SUN (20181013) | imaged through high clouds
I used a normal dovetail. Since the PST has a fixed eyepiece you can use the L-shaped dovetail.

Esta dovetail serve para o PST acoplar à solar quest? É a pergunta que me fez o Raimundo

Sim mas não é a dovetail em forma de L que é mais adequada para usar com a SolarQuest
Este é o modelo que eu uso
