First time with my Lunt 50 mm and the Sky-Watcher SolarQuest. I was very impressed with the tracking by the SolarQuest.

Great job on your first shot!  Looks like you could move the disk a little more to the right in your FOV to be more centered in the “sweet spot”.  You can check this by darkening the disk with Gamma and then crank up Gain so you have a bright, overexposed area, and then move the disk to center that bright area in the center of the disk.  Then turn off Gamma and adjust your Gain and exposure to your liking.  Typically with the histogram around 70%.
