richard ashbee Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 For imaging, would you go for a Lunt80mm single stacked or a Lunt 60mm double stack solar scope and why please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Presland Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I have never used either, but double stacking my Lunt 50mm was well worth the expense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigella Bryant Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Double stack all the time but I'd go for 80mm and save for the double stack later. I currently use the 60mm double stack. I'd love the extra resolution though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressed with your photos even on the 60mm double stack Nigella 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highburymark Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Hi Richard - the 80mm double stack is an internal unit, which produces a brighter background sky - a lot of imagers seem to prefer the 60DS as it’s external and shadows can be tilted out of the fov, giving blacker background sky. I’m actually considering whether to upgrade from a 60 to an 80, but am visual only so don’t think the redder sky would bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
