Telescope is back in the observatory

Shifting the monster is never easy.. and this is the only reason why i 'want' to avoid public sessions with my C14 and Titan mount but could never avoid to avoid this want.

An off day provided the opportunity to ​ put back everything where it truly belongs.. i still have to figure out some cables issues and want to put back the main CCD setup at the telescope.

After attaching Lunt halpha telescope with the C14 OTA, i got a quick look at the sun.. and immediately saw a huge prominence where the arc was attached to the solar surface on both sides. I thought i must image it. So i installed imaging source DMK21 camera with this scope and carefully tuned the pressure tuner and focuser and quickly grabbed a few movies. Here are the results.. not bad!
