Now that the CORONADO SolarMax II 60 BF10 model has a good price I'm thinking about acquiring one, I've also seen that Daystar has released the SS60-DS model, at a lower price, has someone been able to use them for visual observation?

A 0.6 or 0.8 ND filter can replace a polarizing filter for visual observation?

Re: Big Doubts with solar refractor for White light.

Thank you Gus, for your welcome.
Your Lunt Solar Wedge is 1.25" or 2"..? You use a polarized filter or a Solar Continum Baader filter?
In your opinion a ED80 is valid for details on granulation,pores,faculas..spot..or it is more affair of seeing conditions?
