Frank has been working on getting a double scope mounted on his mount.  Today we tried and succeeded in getting two scopes to point at exactly the same object and track.  We than ran onto problems with Franks PC.  It needed a fast USB port to support the cameras we use and Windows said it was a low speed.  So we are staying for the moment with running the video from my laptop.  We’re gettign ready for a ISS/Sun transit Monday morning, but the weather does not look good.  But Frank will get up early just in case.  Here the Calcium K filtered images of the sun today.  I tried another presentation, which I believe brings out the Ca-K features better.  This is a two image mosaic.
