So are there any others out there who have been waiting more than 16 months for the LS60T50DS/B1200FT with Pressure-Tuner upgrade? I foolishly sold my...
Hi, The clouds cleared for a few hours, and I was able get in some solar viewing with my newly arrived LST60Ha DS scope. In single mode, I was able to see some...
Hi Michael... Great animation. Great work. I haven't had 20 clear minutes in the past week, let alone a few hours...figures when the most active region in...
hi keith i can tell you, that you can see in double stack mode very faint details on the surface. well, at the moment we do not have them on the disc. try it...
Hi Walter, Thanks for the reply. Not seeing any sunspots, I figured the sun's surface was pretty quiet ans this might be the reason for not seeing plages,...
... From my understanding of how a double-stack works, (warning - that understanding may not be perfect) what you are REALLY trying to do is get the pass band...
Once the DS in on you will need to get that tuner right between when the 'card' is totally away from the front - as you put it. The image will be the brightest...
Adam and Gene, Thank you for yourinformation. Gene, your explanation of the coinciding of the pass bands makes sense. I figured this is what was happening. My...
Hi I noticed that tuning the second filter allows for different views of the same surface active region. Really, move the thing around. I also make it a point...
Hey Keith, A space blanket aluminized mylar or equal with shiny side out and the proms are MUCH sharper albeit dimmer show in the presence of surface tunable ...
... A very similar related issue was recently discussed over on CN. Andy Lunt stepped in and pointed out that filters are usually designed with a target focal...
Hi Keith, Yeah, the Lunt scopes will have a sweet spot, but from what I have heard only on the larger blocking filters. The BF600 seem to have a very good flat...
Hi Paul and all in this thread... I have run my LS50FHa/B1200 on a 25cm, f5 newtonian (1295mm fl), as well as the Lunt B1200 CaK diaginal. It worked well, and...
Hi all... I have posted a pair of images in my 'Maple Ridge Observatory' folder that were taken today. A composit Ha (disk/limb details from seperate images)...
Hi all... I have been trying to figure out a method of remotely tuning the little thumb wheel on my LS50FHa etalon since I received it a little over a year...
Thanks Brian In addition of personal usage, I was looking at this conceptually as a possible product line, or at least, an application of existing technology...
Hi Brian I like the tuner! Tuning the 75s at the end of the 103ED is impossible w/o dislocating one's shoulder....now how do we each make one up???? Lunt wants...
... As a CV102 f/9.8 guy who spent about two months (and finally gave up)trying to solve this same problem, I know full well how difficutl it is to come up...
Hi Gene... I have to give you credit for gettign me going on this little project, after we discussed the aggravations associated with the problem reaching the...
Just arrived today after 19 months wait for a LS60HaDS50/B1200FT/PT. What a fantastic scope,built like a tank!Unfortunately no sun to test it in the UK.It'll...
The weather finally cleared and I had a chance to try my LS60Ha today. No sunspots, but two or three proms were visible. I took a photo of one prom with my...
hi amos a good first shot. way better than my first ones. see wath you can do with the lunt in my folder (walter's sun) while gathering experience. walter...
