Here's my contributions to the solar observations from Friday. I have now corrected the image orientation (thanks P&C, for pointing it out) for both the fact that I image through a diagonal and that I'm using an Alt-Az mount. Will be making of buying a wedge in the near future for this.

Cheers
Stu

Great captures Stu. You did a great job on the proms, we like the floater off to the west. The orientation of the image is really good.
:thumbsup::thumbsup:
What alt/az mount are you using?

I'm using my Celestron mount from a 9.25 Evolution, just removed the OTA.

Nice set up there Stu.
It would need quite a large wedge for that size mount. At least they are still made even though they're around $800. Celestron don't sell the one for our old mount so we had no option other than to make one.
