2022 09 26 - Lunt 152 B3400 offerings

Post by Simon2940 »

Ive now come into possession of a Lunt 152 that is exceptionally good, still a few things to work out as there is a tilt somewhere in the system but boy is this thing sharp!

Congratulations Simon! Pedro Re' uses a Lunt 152 with great results too. That's a dream scope for me if I could get good enough seeing to use it. Nice images too. Impressive for minimum processing. Have you tried it visually yet?

Nice shot! Are you using a tilter before the camera?

Im using an ADC to be specific. I notice issues when using a tilter, but I also get other aberrations from the ADC.

It's interesting how every system has its pros and cons, this scope is a really sharp scope in general. Pressure tuning has its own issues just as much as mica based etalons.

I have a 204mm refractor thats waiting for an ERF which will be ready soon, so im excited to see how the Quark fairs and possibly get a Quantum on loan.

I will say that both these scopes beats the Solar Max II & III scopes that ive had in the past.
