It's great that everything works for you, but I would like to see a photo of how to do it C8 + Lunt 60 and PST

Ok, I'll do a photo of the imaging train on my next session. It's exactly the same as a refractor setup, it just inserts into the 2 inch focuser. I use a crayford on the back of the SCT instead of a visual back. So it just inserts.

Very best,

Your photos PST mod saw on ASTROBIN but with Lunt 60 dont

I haven't updated my astrobin in a while. My Flickr has all my photos from all of it. But I also post my sessions in the main forum so you can see results via my profile post search.

Flickr see more and more photos 150mm and 120mm refractor and all 200mm+Lunt 60mm dont see)))))

Marty saw your SCT photos and want to say that REFRACTOR best of the best quality

The crucial difference is the atmospheric seeing. It's not easy to critically sample with a 200mm every day in solar. My seeing supports my 150mm nearly every day though, so it gets the most use. I image to my seeing limits each session.

Hi.
I've been using an istar h@ 150mm for a long time. It's a very good lens.
Better than sw 150 f8 of the same size.
Most of the h@ results on my homepage are taken with an istar 150mm.
Keep that in mind.

Hello everybody from UKRAINE!
I decided to buy 150 f8 Istar because my 60mm lunt has a 1.8 built-in Barlo lens and the telescope itself has f4 and not f8, so f10 will last me a long time and work worse than f8.
I am interested in the question of the truss of the open type of the telescope, what are its advantages and is it rational to make a truss for 150 mm? Thank you!

You had sw 150/f8? You say that 150 Istar f10 better Sw 150/f8?
iSTAR 150/F10 longer F8 +Lunt 60 long for me...

iSTAR 150/F10 is much better.

Early in 2014 you used p.s.t stage1 mod with Istar 150 but now use Quark Gemini why because quark better?
On my mind pst mod better than quark, yes quark doesnt have sweet spot but have and indicator and low contrast......had in 2020 quark worse device as for me
