At present my set up is dep sky but need to convert to Solar, with one scope solar and the other Ha and computer controlled as both are now, the Meade RCX200 10" positions the set up both have remote focusers is it possible to convert the William Optics ZS80IIED to Ha with a Lunt pressure tuner and blocking filter in a tube not a 90 degree, my CCD are starlight xpress H9C and LOADSTAR, image is my set up.

That will be one tidy solar setup! Looking forward to seeing it all come together.

Hi All,

        Will this do as I need, Lunt LS60THa/CPT OTA do I need a B1200 Blocking Filter or a B600 and a Lunt PCUSB Pressure Tuner Controller, if I had a 50 will it get all the Sun and Prominences on out side. set up will only be used for imaging.

You might want to take a look at these before deciding on the Lunt

Don't know about the RCX but the LX200R doesn't have the Sun as an object in the handset, I had to make a user asteroid with solar coordinates and enter all the TLE and stuff myself.

I've got it all written down somewhere if you need it.
