First solar imaging session with my new Takahashi EM400. I have to say that this massive equatorial mount is great, very heavy, great tracking, no backlash, very responsive.
Check out a few images below

Nice! But... but... I can't see any difference in performance vs images you normally doing with EM200.
All are equally nice.
OK. Have you ever tried to image with 152mm scope in the dome and outside, from a grass lawn?

Thanks Valery
The EM400 is very stable and does a better job (better tracking). I will try to use all my large refractors with it (inside the dome)
