Introduction
I purchased a solar filter for my Vaonis Vespera electronic telescope in mid-2023 as soon as it became available. This filter can also be used for the Vaonis Vespera Pro, which I purchased in May 2024 (I subsequently sold the Vespera).
Overall, I took very few images of the sun with the two telescopes. In 2023 and especially in 2024, a particularly large number of sunspots were visible; 2024 was probably a sunspot maximum. In 2025 there were fewer sun spots.
In January 2026, I received my pre-ordered DwarfLab Dwarf mini, and also took photos of sunspots (which can be stacked with the mini).

This time, I again used the Gitzo tripod to have the Vespera Pro higher up... I took the sun photos in order to demonstrate the sun mode to a star friend. There were only a few sun spots.
