Nice shots Arne!

I have the same 60/f6 scope as you, stop it down to 40mm for CaK you will significantly improve the quality of the full disk. This scope full aperture at 393nm has a LOT of spherical aberration.

Superb full discs Arne :hamster: :bow I agree with Mark, I have to stop down my TEC140 because of the spherical aberration too ;)
