I want to re-emphasize the gist of Kurt's original post. These small, inexpensive, alt-az GoTo mounts are ideal for casual solar viewing, with the added bonus of tracking which makes higher magnification views much more relaxed and less finicky. See the photos Kurt posted of his set-up on his gallery page. The right-angle design of the PST makes it perfect for use with a single-arm alt-az "upswing" mount. The lack of a polar axis makes alignment an easier procedure in daytime. Kurt's warning about some mounts not having the sun in their alignment object database isn't a concern if you select an object that is reasonably close to the sun (even though it's not directly visible in daylight) and just tell the mount that you are centered on it when you are really centered on the sun itself. Balance isn't quite as critical with these mounts as with equatorials, either. My goal is to mount my PST *and* my home-made 50mm f/9 white-light (Baader filter) solar telescope side-by-side on the same mount. Thanks again to Kurt for putting his setup together and posting, and Bill Cowles indirectly for sowing the seeds. I was originally going to use a small GEM but the more I looked at this option, the more it made sense. And the mount can be used at night, too.
