Not sure how you'd fix the full disk gradient (an instrument artifact that Quarks seem to suffer from) but some very tidy resolution ins the close-ups. Nice.

The gradients are annoying but that's using a 0.5x reducer to get whole disk . If it was done as a 2 or more panel mosaic then it's not an issue . I'm not to concerned for now as it does a great job on everything else for the money :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Damn fine images once again, always eager to see what you have managed to capture and Sol keeps on giving, for the time being.

Lovely shots Mark, fantastic detail as always

We have rubbish weather again due to Ex Tropical Cyclone Ann... I'm beginning to wonder if our wet season will ever actually end...

I tried a 0.5x reducer on my 224MC but, it won't come to focus in my Lunt 60mm, not enough in travel on the focuser...

I'm still scratching my head as to how I may go about trying to remedy that... or not...

I think thats an issue with the Lunt I've heard others have difficulty with the limited range of focus .
