Sol 3rd April with new mount.

Darned trees. At this time of year the sun dips behind my tree-top line prohibiting any solar imaging until after lunch. Well I decided I wasn't going to put up with that scenerio (existing mount not movable) so I bought an alt/az Ioptron cube (here in IIS TY Strawb AKA Davo ) & have it setup in another location. I was worried about field rotation but looks like I escaped it. It's a monster to get used to because of the weird tracking system but It's going to work for me.

6 pane mosaic.

PST/DMK21.

Edit: Looking at this again, I reckon I've just whipped all my other efforts into shape a tad...You bloody beauty!
