I want to get into solar imaging so folk listing what they used would help me and presumably others.

Apologies Alex.
These images were taken with a Daystar Solar Scout DS60 with some modifications. We have added a Lunt 40mm etalon to the front of the Solar Scout to make it double stacked. This simply means that it has two narrow band Ha filters that can be tuned independently. In addition we have a modified ZWO tilt adapter to mount an ASI178MM mono camera. The reason for the modification is that the standard tilt adapter adds too much back focus length to the camera which is outside of the focus travel of the Daystar scope. ie. not enough inward focus. If you are intending to do Ha imaging we would recommend that you looked at the ASI174MM camera instead of the 178MM as it is more suited to solar imaging. Hope this helps.
