Edge 1100 HD has a ultra flat field of view,

Gathering 21% more light than the LX200 10",

89% more light than the 8" GPS 800, and weights 23 lbs. more.

The scope is f/10, on Feb. 18, 2022 added the .7x Reducer lense.

Brightology remote controlled red solar lights provide the lighting. 

May 5, 2021 was first light.

GPS 800 is a f/10 scope with my old Meade f/6.3 focal reducer for a wider FOV. First light was March 3, 2021. The SCT weighs 42 lbs. so it is portable. 

Solar imaging is a different ball game, everything gets hot. It can cause serious eye injury and body sunburn. The camera's cooled the same as in deep-sky imaging. The Sun is tracked easily once everything is aligned. Usually, only declination tweaks are needed.

Lunt LS40THa 40mm f/10 Hydrogen-Alpha telescope piggybacks the scope with the monochrome camera well suited for its sensitivity. Standard exposure is .001 secs., with or without the ND96 filter.

The 4k monochrome camera takes both solar and lunar images. The Baader filter filters as bright white. Standard exposure is .001 secs., ND96 filter.
