Another great shot Dennis... Have you given the C9.25 a run on the sun? I would imagine it too would be a fantastic solar imaging scope... The optics in the M180 would probably be that little bit sharper though.. And the closed SCT tube with heat issues might be a problem.
I honestly can't believe you braved the sun today... Working in a factory as I do, it was REALLY hot inside, but out in the sun it was a scorcher! You are indeed a brave man... I hope you wore plenty of sunscreen!!
