The mount is old... iOptron ZEQ25. Had it for a year or so for my Celestron Comet Catcher.

My first decent image with the new baby.
This is a composite of two images, one exposed for the surface detail and one for the prominence edge detail. Each image was 2500 frames captured using the ZWO ASI1600MM Cooled camera, processed in Autostakkert!2 then tweaked, layered and colorized in PhotoshopCC.
Still lots to learn but I'm happy with my first image. Only gets better from here.

Really cool.

I've been slowly researching & eyeing Ha scopes. Too costly for me right now at my skill level. But one day! I just love being able to look at the day star and not have to stay up all night for some things. Right now just looking at the day star with some baadar film.

Very best,

Thanks guys,
After processing and posting this one yesterday on several forums I received several tips to improve it so I'll be re-processing it and will share the results here.
