Lunt 60 Basic - what BF?

Post by Catalin Fus »

Hi,

I have a pretty good deal on the Lunt 60 Basic OTA (Tilt) and my question is :

should I think of buying a BF10/BF15 from Coronado or the B1200 from Lunt?

I remember some discussions over changing the Blocking Filter from Lunt (especially the B600) but do not find it.....

Thanks in advance!
Cata
