I have recently acquired a SHG700 spectrohelioscope, and after finally getting time and clear sky and learning to set it up, I now can submit these images.
This is today's sun in H alpha (C) 6562.81angstrom.
The SHG700 is mounted on a William Optics Migrez 90 F7 scope on an Astro Physics AP1200 mount.
The camera is an ASI678.
The images are from a scan of the sun at 1x guide rate, the frame rate was 170 FPS capturing a SER of 22300 frames over 130 seconds.
This SER was processed in Jsolex that reads the scan and produces a final set of images that are annotated using data from GONG solar reference images.
The final images always show spikes and artifacts from scintillation due to bad seeing. This is an inherent problem with this instrument, however the information gathered is still worth it.
This instrument is not suitable for visual use in any way and would not replace equipment for visual and public events, that equipment is obviously well suited for events and normal imaging.
I dont think the SHG700 can replace those scopes.
So these are from one scan of the sun.
