A new toy for solar imaging

Hi all,
My DMK51 saw it's first session this afternoon. I am very excited as this imager gives a full disc of the Sun through my Lunt 60 Hydrogen Alpha scope.
The images from today were not great - conditions and some inexperience - but overall I am wrapped to be able to capture the Sun in one frame.
The attached image is the actual first image that the camera took.
Exp 1/217sec, Gamma 72 - about 50/600 from Registax5.
Looking forward to many more sessions with this set up (will also be great for widefield Moon snaps through my 8")
