Description

My wife gave me a new Askar OAG for my recent birthday and I finally got it installed on my FF107 refractor.  Since I plan to use this telescope and main imaging camera (ASI294MC Pro) with a white solar filter for the eclipse, I went out to refocus the FF107 and ASI294MC on the Sun, after installing the OAG.  After doing so, I decided to try focusing my newly installed OAG and Sedna-M guide camera on the Sun, (also through the filter!).  After a time, I did get it focused on a portion of the Sun and took a quick 10 second video using Sharpcap  through the OAG and guide camera.  After processing, I was surprised at how well the image turned out.
