Re: Solarview SV60

Hi Terry, very interesting topic on CN, thanks for sharing. I have to study a lot, I'm a total newbie about solar astronomy. I understand of course that images from the web can be misleading but, incredibly, the more I see DS images, the more I prefer SS ones. To my eyes, as said, DS too dark and le...

Re: Solarview SV60

Thank you very much Alexandra, your answer is very clear and comprehensive. I confirm my intention to have only visual observations. The only problem with a DS Solarscope is...

Solarview SV60

Hi, I would like to know your opinion, if there's anybody that has used it: just for visual only, not imaging, I would like to know if a Solarscope Solarview SV60 (yes, I know the sky high price...) will be better or worst than a other brand (Lunt, Coronado, etc) double stack solution. So, for visua...

Re: SolarQuest review

Hi Pedro, thanks for the very interesting review. Just a question, do you think the Solarquest mount would be ok for the Coronado Solar Max III double stack 70 mm telescope with eyepiece inserted?
