I thought I would treat myself and got a new Lunt 35mm scope (delux package) from Andrews Communications. Visually it has a brighter disc than my Coronado PST; a bit like a mini version of the view through the Lunt 60mm scope.
I literally had a few precious minutes before work this morning to do some imaging. Took 4 very short videos (2 for the disk and 2 for the proms) using my ZWO colour camera (yes, I know monochrome is better...). The scope was on an alt-az mount and I let the Sun drift across the field of view. Could achieve prime focus with my camera without the need of a Barlow. Processed in Registax and CS5.
Looking forward to spending more time exploring what the scope can do,
Lovely little scope for visual use and now imaging.
