Had a week off with clear skies, but a stinking cold. Fortunately it's warm enough to go out in the day time  :D

Thanks folks, I'm really enjoying using this scope. I am very pleased with the Lunt and would recommend them to anyone.

Lovely shots Paul. I had a play with a Lunt at Ollies in Feb. It's way better than a PST and even better than the societies Coronado 60.

I second that Jim it knocks the spots off the sun compared to a Coronado.

That's well impressive then, I was expecting that it would need to be fully loaded to get those results.

Unfortunately this will involve more expense  :-?
