Description

Trying my new addition to SOL Observatory. 
I have observed in the past with a white light filter. 
The observatory now houses a Lunt LS60T/PS Hydrogen Alpha solarscope.

I have added a shoestring motor (that I had lying around) to the focuser and adapted the scope to a Losmandy dovetail base so it fits onto a CEM120 mount.

Pressure tuning is new to me, but it's realy easy to figure out. 

Dont go too high on the histogram.
Unwind the pressure knob completely
Wind in the pressure knob until surface features and prominences show up.

I am happy with first light on this instrument!
