Re: Back to FDs....
Congratulations on super FD's for this time of year. I especially like your DS CaK disc with the spicule fringe and proms. Does your DS unit have the Lunt B600 and B1200 housings linked or have you removed the CaK filters for stacking?

Re: Commercial filter tilters
Hello Sebastiien,
The filter tilter looks a great design. Do you have a link for GreatStar as a google search didn't reveal a relevant business.

The 1A filter DS stack certainly give fabulous images, are they now becoming available from Alluxa and Chroma or only by special order?

Brilliant comparison images but puzzled by rationale of putting the PST 2.2 A CaK filters between the Alluxa and Chroma 1A filters.

Hi Alun, I tried replacing the B1200 CaK nosepiece with Astronomik blue and Altair NUV or Baader Kline filters to try and reduce what appeared to be astigmatism and had the same experience as you with an intensely bright white light image.
