I have heard that DAYSTAR was the best, but i went into CLOUDY NIGHTS and a bloke called STEPHEN RAMSDEN gave a not so good review on this solar scope, (bad actually)..to do with cold & hot days, in not operating good at all. He actually had socks on it during the day?..My mate has a CORONARDO single stacked which is a great view. However i have looked through a LUNT double stacked, it was absolutely brilliant. What is your opinions gentlemen. thx..lloydscope..

I have the Lunt80 and image mainly in single stack mode. I use the double stack mode using Lunt DSII module mainly for visual using binoviewers. It gives good views and details. Recently have got a Quark and prefer the double stack view using the Quark rather than the Lunt DSII module on the Lunt80.
The main caveat is that the evenness of light (hotspots)can vary a lot with different copies of the Quark especially for imaging which is less tolerant of such variations. Yes I have resorted to wrapping a aluminium foil around the Quark on a 37 degree day with the body of the Quark getting much hotter in the direct sunlight. Once I wrapped one layer of foil, it immediately stabilised the temperature and all was good from there on. It is no big deal and looks spacey
