I’m fairly new to the solar game but last year picked up a second hand quantum SE (similar to quark) that I’m running on a 127mm refractor with 4x extender. I’m using the optolong CCD Red filter as erf. Visual only at this point.
It’s just stunning on the prominences but probably a bit too bright so that the surface detail is difficult to enjoy. Also my eyes feel a bit overworked (dry and sore) after a session of a couple hours. I think the narrower Ha filter would be better but I’ve not tried it yet to confirm if it makes the image dimmer. Would love to know your findings if you do try it.
