Hi Bryon: The etalon adjuster wheel does turn a few whole turns - just don't recall exactly how many, but 4-5 full revolutions is roughly right. It does go...

Hi all, I've solved the problem of moving the clamshell so as to have the Sol-Searcher in the position I wanted it in. I found an L-shaped dovetail mount...
Hi Dorothy I had the same unscrewing issue on the 75mm filter. I think someone needs to suggest a Loctite product and instructions... Glad you got it working....
Paul, I had the same problem; I ordered the dovetail plate with the scope, but it (as the thread about moving the clamshell discusses) wouldn't go on the...
Paul and Dorothy, I accidentally unscrewed the wrong thing on my Doubler and got a look at what the etalon looks like. It is a very delicate looking H-alpha ...
Hi Bryon, Would you please tell us when you ordered your scope and from whom you ordered it? I ordered the same scope around mid July and was told I would...

Thanks, Jim I think I unscrewed the lens along with the cover when I tried to take the cover off; I didn't look at it too carefully because I didn't want to...
Hi Dorothy: Glad to see you are coming along. Up here in the very cold of Vermont I have been setting up my Lunt scope in the living room and looking out...
Thnanks, Bryon. Loooks like about a nine month wait. Yes, I am sure it will be worth the wait based on all of the posts on this forum. I am sure the sun will...
Dorothy, The way I start out is by getting the limb(edge) of the sun in focus. then I tweak the etalon tuner until I see a prominence. There is usually...
Agreeing with Jim but adding my two cents worth... I start with a 10mm and bring it to focus. For me (and I'm assuming they all work pretty much the same) I...
Ken, I have wondered about a hot spot, too. It seems more like a hot bar to me; i.e., there is a sharp area across the middle of the sun from side to side and...
