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

Re: iStar Optical for Solar
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.

Re: iStar Optical for Solar
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.

Re: iStar Optical for Solar
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.

Re: iStar Optical for Solar
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!

Re: iStar Optical for Solar
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
