My LOHA 4" f/11 Ha solarscope
My LOHA 4" f/11 Ha solarscope
Hi,
Merlin66 said I should drop by and drool over some of the images being produced by the forum members He was right there is some stunning work being produced.
My recently finished solarscope is a Lyra Optic 4" f/11 refractor with a PST Stage II modification. I call it my LOHA scope from Lyra Optic HA
The details of the build can be read about here http://www.photosbykev.com/wordpress/20 ... fications/ now all I need is some sun to do some final tweaking.
best regards
Kev

Kev,
Good to have you on board.
I'm sure there will be constructive traffic both ways, on PST mods and imaging.

Thank you for the warm welcome and my thanks to Ken for letting me bounce ideas off him during my solarscope build.

Visit here often Kev! My learning curve has really steepened since this forum came into existence simply because it's populated by the worlds best of the solar world and the fact we can talk about whatever we want without grouchy TOS.

It is pleasant not to have to worry too much about rules. It makes it easier to concentrate on not offending people
