We had a windy cloudy day here in Brisbane, but it didn't deter me from testing my new build. I took some white light images while my quark was warming up, using my homemade solar wedge. I then moved on to H alpha, testing my two cameras ASI174mm and ASI290mm.
All of my results were good considering the weather conditions.
The most noticeable points were, very little wind buffeting of the telescope, no more air convection as the tube is now open, and a massive improvement in glare reduction when imaging prominences as the energy reflection filters are placed away from the telecentric focal extender (TZ4).
That's a very well thought out design for your solar scope and excellent results. The sunspot images in Ha are sharp and detailed, hope to see more in the future.
