Sublime images. Looking forward to the English edition of Astronomie Solaire, when is it likely to be available?

Thanks Jozef and John !
John, the file is about to be sent to the printing company. I understand it is a matter of 4 to 6 weeks to have the copies printed. This leads us to end of May/beginning of June :-)

These are excellent Christian! I wish my conditions would allow me to get even close to this once in a while with my HaT. Are you collimating before each use?

Thanks guys !
Mark, I collimate the telescope at night, then I store it in my garage. I have checked the collimation on two different nights to check whether the collimation is stable or not. it seems to have a pretty stable collimation.

Fantastic images, Christian: they show what the HaT can do when the conditions are right. Obviously your processing is excellent. Do you have a photo of the DS set up you can share ?

Thanks Maurits, Alexandra, Franco and Val :-)

Franco, the conditions were between average and good.
Here is a picture of the DayStar + Coronado SMn-35 double stack at the focus of my C8 EdgeHD (F/35 telecentric) taken last year at St Véran. At home, I use my old Taka NJP160, and not the AP1200.
