Re: PST Etalon Assembly / Disassembly Video
If anyone can take a photo of the spacers in crossed polarizers that would eliminate lots of possible spacer materials. Just take two sets of polarizing sunglasses and turn them 90 degrees apart. Insert the etalon in the middle and shine a light towards the camera trying to catch the spacer. If the...

Mondays Monochrome Moments... 30th July *C8 Flare Animation Added*
I was really surprised and pleases that the torrential showers of this morning cleared through to really quite pleasant, if breezy, sunshine. Given this is likely to be the last sun for several days I thought it important to capitalise on the moment... These were all taken with the 127mm @ 1900mm fl...

Hi Pedro, I think you mentioned in another post that you often step the Lunt 152 down to 135mm to make the most of the seeing (would explain why the detailing in our images are so similar). When the seeing has been excellent and allowed you to use the full 152mm aperture have you ever done a compari...

Re: PST Etalon Assembly / Disassembly Video
The next time we have a decontacted etalon can we measure the spacer thickness?
I've measured them using 'difference' method to be 0.4mm. Each etalon plate is exactly 8mm thick and total thickness of 2 plates and the spacers is 16.4mm.
