Hi Richard, that’s the one I’ve been looking at!, looks like a good buy. Do you know of any good secondhand dealers?. I’m happy to buy a new one but am willing to pay as much for a better quality secondhand Item?thanks for your message,Anthony 

Don't know of any second hand ones and its out of stock at a few suppliers, well worth getting new just buy the head if you have a good steady tripod

out of stock at most places

i am on the waiting list for a solar scope and other items, same when i tried to order in March

Beautiful, apparently a chance of aurora tonight in bonnie Scotland. If it's clear ✨

not in Shetland, Force 8 and rain all night.

Nikon are having lots of problems and laying off numerous staff due to virus

nothing special, this was from  a very windy Shetland 

looks like flare

that's great, many thanks

superb, what extra item did you add to get the close up, i take it that a 0.5 reducer would give me a full disc

Which would you choose for Solar and why, would a UV/IF filter improve the image?

I plan to get the Solar Scout 60mm

Any suggestions for mono cameras for the Solar scout 60mm. Appreciate any photos anyone has got

many thanks 

Brilliant mages as usual

Thanks

very nice thanks for sharing, what scope / camera have you used for these

Excellent thanks for sharing

Have a look at the Solar Quest head, it finds and tracks the sun

how can you tell whether the Etalon is a good one, any checks?

Um, I don't have one! That's an old post... I was considering getting one a while back but didn't in the end.

Thanks so do you rate the scope any pros or cons. Thanks for you help just considering whether to purchase a Solar Scout

I am looking to get the Solar Scout, can you recommend any camera? and what type of image it will give Full or part disk. Also some people talk about having an UV/IR filter do you have one and does it make a difference? - many thanks.

Also any more images, keen to seem more

I had a 60mm Scout and found it poor for visual. It’s at it’s best for imaging.

Always liked my PST when I had one despite the sweet spot. It was just nice to use..I’ve looked through a few PSTs and never seen anything remotely as good as in that vid.

what camera did you use with the Solar Scout - thanks

The label didn't go unnoticed! Hope you get some return on your investment soon!

What camera are you using on the Solar scout ?
