Timely capture Warren and great results! I spotted the email alerts coming through but was well after sunset here by then.

Re: Testing new Ca-k setup, 28.11.23
Very promising Dennis. My experience with double stacking CaK; try reversing the order of the filters in the optical chain, one way will work better (produce tighter bandwidth than the other), when this is established find a solution to fine tilt the filter closest to the camera to fine tune the CWL...

Re: Etalon/Blocking Filter Sweet Spot and Alignment Questions
I don't think your disk is too bad at all. I would suggest spending some time on concentrating on tuning, appreciate what is difference being either side of 'on band'. This will be a lot easier to do with the camera rather than visually. I'm not personally intimate with the 80MT, but are there allen...

Re: LS50 at he BACK of a scope?
Welcome to the forum! You are going to end up with a physicaly large scope here - long with large turning moment due to weight of etalon,(assuming you want reasonable aperture) - as such a similar such mount will be needed. Things like focuser arrangements need to be beefy and ideally screw thread. ...

Re: Etalon/Blocking Filter Sweet Spot and Alignment Questions
Hi there and welcome to the forum. Is the scope new or used? If new send it back to Lunt. Is the MT module threaded squarely onto the scope? Focuser threaded squarely onto the MT module? Any signs now or historical of cross threading? Has the scope got it's original focuser or been retrofitted? I wo...
