For my 50th birthday I realized a childhood dream. I treated myself to a nice telescope. I wanted it to be polyvalent to be able to do solar, luna, and  deep sky.
I fiinally bought a Lunt 130MT with a ZWO AM5N mount and a ZWO ASI 533MM Pro camera.

I am quite satisfied about my first attempts. Let me know what you think.

Congratulations  Martial !   

You have an excellent choice of  gear.  Lunt 130 MT is a great refractor and you can get some excellent Solar images.  Good for DSO as well.  However you may need some filters  to capture LRGB and convert into color incase you dont have it already. 

The images of Sun are sharp and  good

All the best and happy imaging !

Congratulations, great images so far!

It's nice when you get to the point in life where you can focus on things that have been important to you, but you had to get to practical life matters first!

Is this pic a mosaic?

The sun is absolutely fascinating! Have you heard of the coronal heating problem? There are whole books about it!

Here's an overview:
