Bandwidth variance I understand at this price point, but having half of the FoV not working is ridiculous.
Maybe keeping the price below £1000 is useful for marketing but I would personally pay a bit more if it covered the QC.

Daystar are clear that there is bandwidth variance so I knew this before purchasing. As a first time Ha observer I don't have the experience to pick out whereabouts within that variance my Quark sits so this is not that important to me. What is important to me is:
  • The unit should typically require power to come on band.
  • The bandwidth should be consistent over the entire FOV, or at least the vast majority of it.
  • The unit should have a setting that provides the best view. In an ideal world not at +-5 but that might be pushing it :)
