Thanks for your feedback.
The short focal length is a Vixen ED103 with dedicated focal reducer. The long focal length was with a Skywatcher Mak127 plus Televue 2X barlow.
Both ride (one at a time) on my old trusty, silky smooth and accurate Vixen GPD. I have the scopes carefully balanced and balance marks on the counterweight shaft etc, so that they can be swapped out easily as needed.
The DYI Baader Solar film filter I had hanging around from the last solar maximum when it was used extensively for visual observations.
