That is cool.
Don't see much new astro gear that piques my interest these days.
Thanks for the post Houghy, although I would have eventual seen this in the Astro Tech Today magazine, it is great to know of this development now, given that I am considering the purchase of a Ha scope.
Looking forward to seeing some reviews now, as I have been looking at getting a Lunt 80mm Ha PT scope, which I am going to look at in the US this May, at Woodhills Telescopes in LA, on my way to Denver, where I will also be visiting JMI Telescopes in Lakewood (Denver).
I have had trouble justifying the expense of the Lunt 80mm Ha PT (around $5k landed), but this development is interesting, as I can use my existing WO FLT110, and, this is certainly a lot cheaper.
NEAF is just at the wrong time of year for me. They should hold it closer to July/August, then I could go to NEAF and Stellafane.
I certianly wouldn't go to the US just for NEAF, but Stellafane is another story, as I had so much fun there last year. So, if it was closer to Stellafane, I would definitely make the effort to include NEAF.
Cheers Pete
