First time with Eqmod aswell connected to laptop. Stellarium mostly. Tracking was spot on with a few fine adjustments.
One single shot , 1/2000sec ,ISO 200
It shows todays two sunspots around the centre if you zoom in , 2656 and 2658 according to this from Spacewether.com

Your photo`s are too big to go onto my OAS report, Roger. Try and make them smaller; it makes it easier to copy and paste them into the panes.

Doug, click on the "too big image" and it will come up with a box around it.  Take one corner of the box and drag it towards the opposite corner in stages.  Eventually the image should fit the slide.

I hadn't noticed before that it was on the O.A.S. Gallery, or I'd have pointed out that the gallery makes a suitably-sized smaller image automatically. Just look for the image with a filename beginning "normal_". It's the one you see wheh you look at the gallery page for the image with its details, and it's a good size for linking in the forum, too.
