Completed Solar Set Up

[Paul73]

Hi Guys

After much messing around with adapters, saddles etc. I have finally got my Solar gear set up how I imagined.

I just need to sort out another zoom and I'm there!

White light on one scope and HA on the other. In the warm sun. Bliss!

Very nice setup!  How are you liking that Coronado P.S.T?

[Floater]

A joy to behold.

Comprehensive setup, a binoviewer would work wonders if you can achieve focus.

I like it. Its simple (no cables,laptops,cameras) and i'm sure gives the best of both worlds. Its also amazing how many people (myself included) use a Mk III Hyperion zoom for Solar. I find the 8mm end of the EP just doesnt quite get me there,so i switch to say a 6mm.

Thanks guys.

I didn't mean to buy the PST. But it appeared on ABS at when I was unable to resist (sunny afternoon & a couple of beers at a wedding......).

The best way to astro shop!!!

I am really impressed with the detail that it offers given the right conditions. The prominences are really excellent. A Quark would give better surface detail. But, the double stack or a mod would sort that. And, it is compact and as light as a feather.

And. Yes. Power & IT free! ?? I approach anything more complex than dew heaters with terror born of bitter experience...
