Unpleasantly hot today, but I managed to test my new Intes M715 (180 mm f/15 Rutten-Maksutov-Cassegrain). I haven't checked the collimation yet, might need some tweaking. The seeing was unfortunately too unstable for an animation:
Blackfly S (IMX 273), Baader ND 3.8 solar film + Solar Continuum, processed in AS!3 and ImPPG.

These are beautiful ! So far I also have got the best results broad band results with a 180 mm f15 mak from skywatcher. A less noble instrument than your intes, but with good optics after all

Oh, I don't doubt it - I absolutely loved my "golden tube" SW Mak 180, which I had between 2012-2014 (esp. for the Sun and Jupiter, like here https://astrob.in/23109/0/). I decided to get another one, this time for life

I don't think it's off collimation by much, if any. The granules are resolved with ease!
Nice first light. Congrats!!

Congrats on a really nice first set with this scope. This looks promising for when the seeing collaborates!
