Re: lunt 50 mod
After many years dealing with inconsistent Ha area with my PST mod, I decide to move to a lunt 50 mod. Luckily my152/900 scope is close to lunt 50 f/d ration, so no barlow is needed! I was also looking for a fully screw system. here is the result : http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/945784IMG2033.jpg...

Re: PST mod Telescope question.
It's all about compromises this modding; unless you're using bespoke designed optics for a project there will always be a price to pay in terms of image quality.

Alternatively you could replace the front barlow element of the PST assembly with a -140mm barlow to give the full 102mm.
How I can replace the Barlow ?
