Description

I have been waiting for what seems like ages to get some time to test out my Quark Chromosphere that was replaced under warranty...
I had several hours yesterday; the seeing was well below par but early results are that this one should do the job on Solar Prominences quite nicely.
Per the pic,  I used a SkyWatcher 120mm EvoStar with a Baader sub-ERF mounted into the 80mm extension tube, then the Quark and finally a ZWO174MM, AVX mounted on the solid Berlebach Planet tripod.  I will probably switch to my ZWO 432MM next time.

When I eventually got things to about where I wanted, I had only time to take 25 minutes for this animation before cloud rolled in.

Thanks for looking.
