Lunt or coronado blockfilter?

Post by Taipan »

Just wondering
I have a Lunt LS60MT. Can i use a Coronado BF-10 on that scope or is there any reason to use a Lunt blockfilter? If i don’t care about the gold colour. :)

Sure, use a coronado blocker. I always used one with my LS50.

Same here. All my current Ha images are taken using Lunt etalons with Coronado BFs.
