Sun Imaging / Observing Equipment
Mount
Sky-Watcher SolarQuest Solar tracking mount
With the built-in GPS and Sky-Watcher’s HelioFind™ Solar Alignment Technology it automatically tracks the sun.
It has a maximum payload capacity of about 4kg and accepts Vixen-type dovetail bars
Telescope, Barlow and Camera
Lunt 50 mm Hydrogen-Alpha Solar Telescope with a 6mm blocking filter.
My current setup uses the barlow lense part of an Omegon 1.25″ 2X barlow lense after the diagonal.
The ZWO ASI 174MM monochrome astro camera is used for imaging.
