SHOW US YOUR SOLAR STUFF

[Starflyer]

This is my white light visual setup.

I dont think i will show mine, just my TAL100rs and a home made badder white light filter and it never gets used

[Davey-T]

Haven't got a picture of it in a case, haven't even got a case for the Technosky yet ( it's on its way on a slow boat from China )

My cannon for this season (90 mm + Lunt LS50THa etalon assembly):

This is just tempting me into a dismantle and donor scope mod, but it terrifies me because I may end up with nothing at the end but bits everywhere !

With these particular scopes – not likely Here's the description of my mod: https://solarchatforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=19238

It’s completely non-destructive, you just need to get the adapter length right.

Link seems to be broken from here. (Links Working now). Does it improve the scope enough visually for it to be worth my sweat, that is in comparison to the stock single stack 50mm? 

[GreatAttractor]

I'd say it's worth it, you get almost twice the resolution (at the cost of not being able to see the whole disc at once this way, just a fragment). Note however that the image is still single-stackish, just like in Lunt 50, i.e. not too great a contrast, you have to look for a few seconds to start noticing fine structures (and fine they are! especially with big proms and sunspots boiling near the limb).

Astrotech 102mm f7 ed with Baader wedge and Maxbrights

Skywatcher 120mm f7.5 ED with same as above

This is my coronado 60

 

If that is not the most elegant solar set up ever, I don't know what is!  

Love it!

Here is mine, no Ha first light yet with the LS60THa...

As for eyepieces, just some plossls and a 13mm nagler which all seem to work well with solar. 

I want to get a lunt WL diagonal and Baader SC filter for my also new Equinox 80ED and dual mount them on my AZEQ6

Nice!! I've one of those solar projectors - it's a clever little thing that gives really quite enjoyable views of sunspots for €50!  Takes 5 seconds to set up, and perfect for showing the kids

I've toyed with getting a PST - some seriously impressive setups here!

What a neat portable setup. But, for home observing, White light and Ha side by side is the only way to go! Have a try with a decent zoom eyepiece if you have one to hand.
