Out of the past ten days, I've managed to observe for five days. Which isn't bad considering the cloud cover so far this month.
This past week I've spent most of my observing time fine tuning the PST's etalon, and also importantly looking for that "sweet spot" in the telescopes field of view.
Glad to say, that after much tweaking and head scratching , the etalon positioning and "sweet spot" have now been sorted out.
What started off as a red bland blob with a little indistinct prominence poking out of it a week ago, has now been transformed into a seething mass of prominences, filaments, plages, sunspots, and spicules.
The PST is a wonderful little solar scope, I admit it requires some etalon and sweet spot tweaking for best results, for me that is part of this little telescopes charm.
