Thanks MoonPrince!
I was wondering if you are imaging at
the optimal Focal ratio?
With the ASI174mm, calculations indicate F24 is about optimal.
So the Apollo M Max is larger pixels,
so would F32 be better for that ?
I just wonder have you over sharpened your
surface details?

Hello, I have an 80mm refractor and the quark eyepiece. I also have the Apollow-M Max.

Could you please tell me how you achieved the full disc image? What was the optics train as well anything else done to achieve full disc of the sun.

Thank you in advance. I am new to this forum so if this is explained elsewhere, please provide a link?
