The Sun – 25 Aug 2019 – 14:42UT Tested AR90/900 with standard cheap x5 Barlow Just to see how much I could reach in magnification In this case it was Altair 178M – 2x Binning – 800×600 ROI I guess, if I find a stable atmosphere, I will get into focus better This was really a small area barely visible in full disc mode!

The Sun 25 Aug 2019 – 10:28UT Attempted x5 Barlow on a AR90/900 – usual kit

The Sun 25 Aug 2019 – 09:29UT Gear as mentioned … I did not have great surface + flats
