DayStar Solar Scout SS60

[SAW]

Hi,

Anyone got the DayStar Solar Scout SS60 or used one, what did you think of it for visual and imaging ?

Been thinking of getting one for a while or the larger 80mm one. Had a Lunt 50 pressure tuned before so how does it compare to this. 

Or am I better off just getting the Quark and a cheap refractor ?

Off to Fuerteventura in November and will be there for the mercury transit, have a 300mm lens and 1.4x teleconverter to take but may get the x2 or I'll take my 178MM and lens adapter but this is obviously only going to be white light.

@johninderbyhad an SS60 for a while, but I'm not sure how much use he got from it.

Hopefully he will pop in shortly to give you an opinion. He started a thread about it here.

I thought it was more for imaging than visual. Prefered the Lunt 60 for visual. For imaging the Daystar is a far better buy than the Lunt though and maybe a little bit better. So think it comes down to if you will be doing more visual or imaging.
