Great pics Richard. While we were in Sydney someone had set up a solar telescope at Circular quay near the overseas terminal. I was actually knocked out by the images through the eyepiece and decided we had to get one for our public viewing. The only information from him ( not a member) was that it was a Lunt without a double stack so I thought it would be pretty easy to duplicate. Got some info from Don at Bintel and inspected a scope owned by Luke Dodd in Qld - a double stacked LS60 with B1200 blocking. Very disappointed with images,,there was some issue with the blocking filter being contaminated. We just want the best wow! factor- prominences and surface features, like we saw in Sydney. Do you know who this person was? imaging not so important at this stage. Any suggestions. Much appreciated!
