Rusty: I have an LS200T on order myself. I have no idea when it will ship. I bought a Losmandy G11 tripod. It was the only high quality tripod that would...
... Hi Andy, Just theoretically, I think wind velocity (if any) would be a big missing factor here. I'll bother you some more as soon as I think of something. ...
I have been looking thru solar scopes using my right eye for about 9 years now. When I am testing, it generally takes about 1-2 seconds for the proms and...
Funny you mention this.... I'm a newbie to solar observing and my Lunt 50mm BF 1200 are my first HA filters. Today was my real first light with the Lunt. I...
I believe it's all down to training and practice. Beginners don't see what experienced people see because their eye-brain hasn't been trained. Most people...
I have long been aware of the differences between my eyes. It seems most apparent in an Ha scope to me but one can see differences in regular astronomy as...
It is funny you mention this now. I have been at the Okie-Tex Star Party (there was a guy here with a demo LS60 - LOVE IT!) and I was trying the same thing...
There have been several calls regarding the LS50F tuner. When the LS50F is shipped it is generally in the tuned position for Tucson AZ. When the user recieves...
Thanks for posting that info Andy. Are you able to describe what sort of change might be expected in tuning with variation in altitude? (eg. quarter of a turn...
Hello everyone... I have created a folder named "Maple Ridge Observatory" in the photos page and uploaded my images for the month of September. These images...
Not being keen to ship my first 50mm filter back to the USA for stacking I decided to take a chance on stacking unmatched filters. Having seen a few reports of...
Well I'm certainly not pleased to hear about a DOA. We put alot of time and effort into every filter. They get shipped off to people who appreciate what they...

Heya all... Having some fun with the CaK scope when I can...work's putting a damper on it but hey...gotta pay to play :) I added the images to the files...
Finally, the Lunt 60 Ha arrived with the Vixen stand. I using 20, 22 and 15 mm Rinis and like the view with the 16 mm best. So then, here is my question....
Josef, It's really quiet on the sun today. I managed a few very small prominences with a good PST using a Vixen zoom at 8mm. You should see a sharp edge with...
Agreed, it is a very quiet sun today. A few small prominences. This morning about 9am MDT there was a little bit of the active area still visible. In the PST,...
I appreciate the help and encouragement. I was able to see what I call "ants" on the surface and at first thought it had something to do with the optics but...
With the PST, I find my 7.5mm to give the best balance between power and resolution and giving me a full disk. You might try the 16 on the barlow. At the...
Another theory.. The sun is pretty bright and that puts alot on one side of the <head>. Try a binoviewer and see if it doesn't get better. If you must use one...
Hmmm, Tony,a bunch of pot holes in your neck of the woods. My first filter(a 60mm)had similar problems. It was real loose and had to return. Does Lunt do next...
With the 16 mm and 2x Barlow I can see the jagged edge, what small amount of it there is around the sun. I can also see above the disk whips, 3 of them, in...
Sounds like you got it! Are you using a dark cloth over your head and eyepiece to block stray light? It makes a huge difference in eye comfort and how well...
If Lunt is using the same shipping foam that Coronado used for the PST, Then YES there is a problem. That foam is too stiff and it transmits shock instead of...
I have been shading my eyes but the dark cloth will come tomorrow. One observation I would like experienced folk to comment on. There appears to be a very...
Jozef, There is a dated review of Rini eyepieces available at http://scopereviews.com/page3.html . It doesn't seem to cover your issue. The fact of the...
Thanks Bob. Much appreciated. I understand what the Rini lens are. I will play with them a bit and then perhaps opt for a very good quality around 8 mm lens...
Scuse the interruption.but I have been observing with a PST for a few years and the Black Cloth has always just about cooked me during summer months.so how...
Hi Paul, By making it 2 ply with a reflective colour on one side, & black on the other. In my case I used curtain 'black-out' lining on one side. (It's a ...
