Hello, After many months of gathering parts I have to sell them all... My situation changed a bit, have to invest in my house and one more time I have to sacrifice my equipment... What I have? Here's the list: - Istar 150mm F10 h-alpha optimized lens (I've been waiting 7 months since order and it's ...

Pablito

Yes Valery, it has these lenses. Clear aperture is 35mm.

Pablito

Gentelmen, I confirm that LS60Tha works very good with LS100 DSII module. I checked it 10 minutes ago

Minor ghost effect and glowing. Surface detail is much improved as it should be in double stack. Proms and active regions are very contrasty.

Thanks Ralph, thanks Walter

Hi,

ID of the cell is 167mm so it will fit your scope. I can give some flocking material, two layers will solve this 2mm difference.

Pablito

Walter, unfortunately I never had PST CaK so don't have any adapter for it.

P.S. I can order making another adapter for my SM90/TSapo adapter to make snap-on with it for any refractor.

Pablito

Hi, I have two adapters I no longer use. 1. Rotating double stacking adapter for Lunt LS35Tha. You can just unscrew front etalon from any LS35 and using my adapter put it to other one and have double stacked system. Rotation eliminates ghost efect. 2. Coronado SM90 to Teleskop Service / Astrotech 90...

Pablito

Any trades possible, make me an offer

Hi, Have for sale RG610 glass that I recently bought from Swisswalter but decided to go other way. It's ca.6" diameter, hickness is ca.14mm and is already mounted. Clear diameter is ca.145mm but it could be taken out to have more. Plot attached. There are some small microscratches and one worse...

Pablito

Thank you Mark. Will try to find it out.
The more silly questiones with wise answers, the less silly mistakes

Pablito

Thanks Brian :) We will see. I mentioned about other possibility. If Istar/DS II mod will not work very nice, I will make Istar/PST mod AND will use DS II with 127mm F7.5 apo ;) Other idea: do you think that putting Optec 0.7x reducer before DS II will help with "sweet spot"? It would give...

Pablito

Thanks for the tips Mark.

Pablito

DS II goes between internal etalon and focuser. Istar lens is F10.
If it doesn't work, I also have other possibility. Now I keep with this plan.

Pablito

Will do tests using plywood parts (I make big dobs so have plenty) and when find optimal position, I'll order carbon fiber tube. Then some lathe work and anodizing. I already have Moonlite focuser. Seems easy but, I don't think it will be.

Pablito

As for now, I wait for both parts. Bought new so pricing you can find at sellers websites

Pablito

Ken, Coronado BF will be ok? I want to be sure because I am going to make this mod. I already bought LS100 DSII and Istar h-alpha optimized 150mm lens

Pablito · Re: Huge!!! prominence Oct 8, 2013 Great pic! :rockon:

Great pic! :rockon:

Pablito

Walter, thanks but we need Baader D-EFR - 135mm or 160mm. Anyone?

I can offer for trade quality optics for Newtonian or Cassegrain (even RC) in any diameter up to 32" in good price

Custom made.

Pablito

I received ERF form Walter (thanks again) but don't close the topic.

I need another one for my friend. So, if you have it for sale, let me know

Pablito

Hi,

Both etalons and BF are sold.

Thanks for the interest.

Pablito

Awesome pics!

I'm happy that second SM90 works great

Pablito

Can you please tell me what is reasonable minimum size of sub ERF? I mean, what should be subERF/objective ratio to have it still safe for internal etalon.

Lunt in LS100THa and LS152Tha puts quite small ERFs. Do they use something else than Baader style ERF?

Thanks in advance for that info

Pablito

Hello,

I am looking for ERF. Size: 110-160mm. Let me know if you have some for sale

My email: pawel (dot) rojewski (at) astrofaktoria (dot) pl

Pablito

Hi,

I can sell it separately. Please write me to: pawel.rojewski (at) astrofaktoria.pl

Pablito

Did you try to rotate outer etalon?

Pablito

Some more pics soon

Price depends on option, I can sptit the package. I don't have to sell it quick so if reasonable offer appears, I will consider it.

Pablito

Thanks Walter. Yes, it's mono but I'm not selling it separately.

Pablito

Hi, I am thinking about selling my solar stuff, even with camera and mount if buyer wants it. For some pics and details, please visit my website: http://www.astrofaktoria.com/coronado-sm90-double-stack-for-sale/ Thanks for looking! P.S. I also have rotating double stacking adapter for Lunt LS35 etal...

Pablito

Great mod. I was thinking about it for a long time but nobody sells DSii module.
Is there just internal ERF or you used front ERF?

Pablito

Hi! I am looking for Lunt LS80 DS II filter. If you have one and want to sell it - let me know :) My email: pawel((dot))rojewski ((at)) astrofaktoria((dot))pl Cheers, Pawel Trade on quality optics or truss telescope is an option. Take a look at my website for some pics - www.astrofaktoria.com

Pablito

$620 - it is 30% of new price...

Pablito

He, he. Walter you're right

Price is $700

Pablito

Flea2G is sold.
Grasshopper is still free to take for 7000 bucks.

Pablito

$1050 shipped

If you have ExpressCard in laptop, it will work fine with the adapter I provide.

Pablito

Hi, Have for sale two monochromatic Point Grey cameras. It's great combo for solar imaging. Grasshopper takes full disk in 714mm FL! I changed laptop and can't use them any longer (no firewire)... 1. Grasshopper (GRAS-14S5M-C) with monochromatic sensor, - sensor Sony ICX285 CCD, 2/3", 6.45 µm (...

Pablito

Ok, I understand. But if you want to get full disk, big sensor is not the only solution. You could use shorter focal lenght, try with some focal reducers. I have one (cheap) 0,5x focal reducer that gives me full disk at 714mm FL and 1/3" sensor. But it's quality is poor so images are also poor....

Pablito

Stephen,
I can't afford to give it for free right now... But you mentioned (quite) long time ago that you have some solar stuff that you don't use (some etalons, BFs etc.). If you still have something that you don't need, let me know. Maybe we both could be happy

Pablito

I also have Point Grey Grasshopper camera with mono ICX285 sensor. I hoped to keep it but... Ok, make me an offer on it. It also has FW connection.

Pablito

Chameleon - 325eur shipped worldwide
Flea2 - 490eur shipped worldwide

Pablito

Forgot to mention that I am located in Poland

Pablito

Hi, I have for sale two solar/planetary/lunar cameras - PTGrey Chameleon and Flea2 Chameleon is one of the most popular cameras for solar work due to very sensitive and hi res sensor. It has 18fps speed and USB2 connection to PC. Flea2 has the same sensor but is much faster - 30fps at full frame. It...

Pablito

Hi!

Four pics in one.

Pablito

Hi, Have for [strike]sale[/strike]... trade an adapter for double stacking Coronado SM90 filters. This was made for me to use with two, not factory matched etalons to find the best position of one to other etalon with no fear that front etalon will fall off. I have two adapters so one I can give to ...

Pablito

Catalin, try to use Avistack to process the images. I tried Registax or Astrostakkert but both gave me worse results. I use FireCapture for capturing avi files. I take the lowest gamma and gain as possible. Shutter time does the rest ;) Image from yesterday. SM90/BF30 on TS 90/600APO. When you get b...

Pablito

Ok, thanks
