I am thinking about double stacking my Quark with a 1.5A filter (or 1.7A filter from Apollo). Do you have any experience with using the 1.xA filter as contrast booster (and perhaps double limb suppressor) for Quark?AndiesHandyHandies wrote: ↑Fri Jul 23, 2021 4:21 pm Hi
I spent about £500 on a SH PST, paid £250 and a dirt bike to Rodastro for it, maybe some sellers regret.
Comparing with Daystar bandwidth example images looks like 0.7A.
A couple of Swiss adapters aprox £150.
1.5A Omega Bob solid etalon on hand for a blocker about £75.
Various filters on hand and or useful additions.
Rod kindly contributed bits out of his bits box and some lathe work for a nosepiece for the moved PST Collimator to T2 adapter.
DeepSky64 rates my visual observations with a Mak180 mod as the best.
Montana says my reported details match her 100mm Solarscope.
Tuning the blocker by tilting I see surface datails similar to Stardusts DS images.
I can see more detail in prominences than posted images.
And more realistic details, like granulation in bright areas and fractal borders on them, rather than over-processed lines.
Quiet happy.
Cheers. Andrew.
I'd happy to see some comparison image if you have one. Thanks!
