Hi Dave I should have added. I do have a TAK TSA102 f8 that I would use at home. The Star 71 would be as a travelling wide field scope. The Quark does have a powerful 4.3barlow built into it that would bring the focal length to about 1500mm with the WO. How do you find the Star 71s for Astro photography. Cheers Paul

Hi Everyone I want to get into Solar viewing and photography with a Daystar Quark. This seems to be the most economical way with the advantage of using a telescope that can also be used for Astro work as well. I am thinking of getting a William Optics Star 71ii f4.9. 350mm as it’s very portable. Has anyone used this combination that can give me an idea of how successful it would be. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I don’t want to make the wrong choice and waste a ton of wedge.(£) if there are better options. cheers Paul

Cheers Michael I have always thought slight de focus was a good idea, but this proves the point that good focus is a must. Just achieved 0.40” tonight. I got the idea of putting an I.R. filter on from my experience of photographing the moon. I could never get crisp focus until the nice man at Atik advised using an I.R. filter, so I tried the same thing on the guide camera. I wonder how many people are guiding with mono cameras and no filter. Clear Skies Paul. -
