First light using a Daystar Prominence Filter on a C11
Today saw first light using a Daystar Prominence Filter on my old C11. I was pleased the setting up procedure and execution went smoothly. I’m still trying to work out where the “sweet spot” is by working through the dial settings but expect to find that out soon with more experience. The camera was a ZWO174MM. Enter the clouds.

Re: First light using a Daystar Prominence Filter on a C11
Thanks everyone for your positive responses. They are much appreciated. Currently my State is flanked by two massive rain bands so it doesn't look promising for the rest of the week. I look forward to getting out again and polish up my Solar observing routine with the bigger scope.
Cheers
