Hello,
I just thought I would share today's effort. Featured are active regions 1504,1507 and 1508. I recently modified my PST by removing the "black box" and I replaced it with a crayford focuser. A big thanks to Ken Harrison for his efforts and documentation!

I also used my software "Time Source" and my solar autoguider, this allowed me to leave the equipment alone to do the work. Whilst I spent time with bubs.

I am really happy with the detail I can now extract out of the PST, the new back end has made a huge difference. There are a few dust bunnies, but I am working on a device for solar flats so this should eliminate these errors in the future.

Thanks Everyone,
The autoguider will be available soon, the tube I designed is on it's way from Hong Kong now.

That's excellent ... sunspot's show up well.

Bought myself a TeleVue Sol- Searcher for my TV85 .... just waiting for the Solar Filter to arrive..... itching to have a look.
