Re: Etalon (Pre-Meade) and like new BF5 for $99 Each
Good news for you beauty nerds. I found the tuning ring so the scuff marks on the ETALON are covered. I will ship everything in the initial post except the self centering adapter and the glass path and BF5.

Re: Etalon (Pre-Meade) and like new BF5 for $99 Each
Here are the photos of the ETALON after I have removed the gold tubes. The ETALON looks clean but I want to make sure you know you will not win beauty awards with your mod. The ETALON has some teeth marks on the surface but that does not impact performance. I will ship with both gold tube "extension...

Ouch! I just found these offers so I will contact you in order. So sorry I had not gotten the messages.
BTW, the BF5 is sold and the gold tubes are removed and the self-centering adapter is now repurposed.
Stay tuned,
Jack

Re: PowerMate or Barlow for H-Alpha Video
Great and interesting explanation Simon.
I never considered binning the sun since I equate binning with decreasing exposure on do objects.

Re: PowerMate or Barlow for H-Alpha Video
Mark and Rainier, It's the physics and the math which confuses me so I get lost in marketing hype. I appreciate the insight. If the primary difference is for visual then I can consider I rarely am visual. If my camera limits me then that's another issue. I neli3ve it was you , Mark, who turned me on...

SOLD: Etalon (Pre-Meade) and like new BF5 for $99 Each
I'm parting out my PST Stage 2 Mod. $99 gets you my Coronado (pre-Meade) Etalon #95471 (and the attractive portion of the original gold tube which I adhered to the Etalon as a nosepiece into a 2" focuser). The Glasspath is already sold. If you'd like the extension tube you are welcome to it (it also...

Re: 2" or 1.25" Solar Continuum Filter
Thanks, all! I"m convinced! Sadly my first spin was less than enthralling, but I'll keep at it. I have the Baader Photo Solar film (3.8) and the Solar Continuum. I'll bet tomorrow it will pop into amazing! I did see the one larger and 3 smaller sunspots. Oh and of course, my camera dropped out of th...

2" or 1.25" Solar Continuum Filter
My Debbie gave me a Solar Continuum filter and Photo Solar Film for Christmas.
Do I need the 1.25" or 2" filter? I can utilize either format, but don't want to vignette in white light imaging.
-152mm f6.5 refractor
-80mm f7.5 ED refractor
-ASI174 camera
Thanks,
Jack

Re: 11Dec - That Long Filament & Surrounding (New images added 12 Dec)
I add a focal reducer on my refractor rigs up at the camera successfully to widen the field.
