Thanks Mark

It works great. I also use other grab & go solar scopes

I seriously considered an FS60 a couple of years back but ended up buying the AT72EDII instead. I still would like to have one.

Sweet setup. I'm intrigued by your stacking the SM60 with the Quark. Do you really use a BF15 in that case (1:45 in your vid)? How's the contrast?

[pedro]

The double stack with the Quark works well enough. I do not use a BF15 with this configuration (I use a mirror diagonal). The contrast is OK but as usual you will get a dim image of the sun

Very nicely portable setup, Pedro
