I have the Losmandy GM8 (going on 20 years). My 20lb refractor is a little too much weight. I should’ve bought the G11.

I started getting my feet wet in solar photography about a year ago. I’ve gotten a few decent pictures. I’m using a Player One camera on my 115mm f/7 scope. It’s pretty cool. I have quite a bit to learn, yet.

Stay at it. It can be very frustrating, I know this all too well. That pic above was actually about 4 hours exposure but I had to dump about 2 hours of images due to a variety of issues. I wasn’t very happy about that but that’s just part of the game.
