Great shots there Simon. Are you using a LUNT B3400?

[MAURITS]

Excellent results Simon.

Great shots there Simon. Are you using a LUNT B3400?

Yes this is with a B3400 with some minor blems which i will deal with. Waiting on 3 pieces of glass from Lunt to replace it.

It was pretty good, not 100% perfect but I did have 0.5 arc second seeing which was great. The scope started to build up heat currents which is not a surprise given the size. I also need to release the pressure on the tuner after it gets baked outside

0,5" seeing is 200% perfect for a 6" aperture! If it was not 100% perfect, then it was far not a 0.5" seeing.

This is amazing!!!! A great piece of Art!!!
Simon I am speechless...
Congratulations!
I did not know you got the Lunt 152. Excellent. I hope and wish it will give you much more fun and amazing images.

What H-alpha filter(s) do you use with it?

I still have to catch-up with solar, since I am focused on Jupiter and the planets this period (nocturnal times). Will come later I hope.
Best wishes,
Alexandros

The 152 is a dedicated pressure tune doppler solar scope with a b3400 blocking filter. I also have a PST mod to get the double stack on it.

Thanks Simon. Sorry I was not so clear. Given that I have the Lunt 130MT and I am planning to pass to DS, can you please tell me which exactly is your PST mod and how do you connect it to the Lunt? A photo or a link would help a lot.

In your case with the Lunt, you are better off using the internal pressure tune double stack as it will be optimal for that specific setup, the PST mod that I am using is actually geared towards my Daystar Gemini and not the Lunt.

Simon,
I used your first image as the wallpaper on my iMac. It's beautiful!!
