New solar products?

[A McEwan]

Hi,

I'm sure there was a thread a few months ago about a revolution in H-alpha product pricing and new products being available, but I can't find it anywhere!

Anyone?

This one?

[A McEwan]

That's the one! Thanks!

Lunt have since announced an 80mm scope with an internal double stacking unit for a not completely ridiculous price..... Thinking about selling your ls60pt?

Hadn't heard that, Peter. I was actually more interested in the options for H-alpha-ing my incoming 80mm f11.25 achro, but only mildly curious as to the options at the moment.

Got a link to that 80mm Lunt beastie?

A PST mod would be ideal for the Vixen OTA;)..or for the more adventurous a double stacked PST etalon version.....

If you fancy doing the PSTmod, maybe I can help you.

I'll swap you my PST for your Lunt to get you started.

I'll even deliver it to you!

What Bill? The same Lunt that you said gave a "disappointing" image the time you tried it and the Sun was about 5 degrees above the horizon in haze over buildings? Nah - you wouldn't like it...

Heh ... although I know the PSTs a good 'un. Be a shame to break it apart wouldn't it!

[A McEwan]

Merlin - not Vixen but Astroprofessional with TMB optic! Similar I'm sure for what you're taling about though I assume...

I've just started using a Lunt FS60 and, believe me, there is no disappointment on the scene. I find it sensational. However, a good bit of this thread goes over my head so please excuse me...
