Transit Preparation - swapped out the 14" Meade for the 127ED and the 60mm lunt SBS

Well with some help from Scott and Al i swapped over the 14" for the sbs setup with the Meade 127ED and the lunt. now i will be honest - i haven't done much in the way of solar work - and i would consider myself in newbie territory there. So i have the 60mm lunt with a double stack option and a DMK41, and a 127Ed, with a thousand oaks solar filter and a cooled 40D. Can run both on the one PC and i have an option of running a DMK21 on an ed80. So i have all the gear on and absolutely no knowledge of using them properly and only a few weeks to learn.

from the "test images" i need to clean the diagonal and the DMK41 as well as the thousand oaks filter. and the corrector of the 127. I haven't used that scope since astrofest last year.

i spent this morning aligning the two scopes and getting centralised images in both, then tried to focus - man that is hard the seeing changes things so much
