Yes ,
yes and
yes !! , would be a beast .
Not a bad price either , $550 OTA + $1500 Daystar Ha = $2850 ( with postage , filters , customs and GST ) for a 150mm f8 Ha scope , kinda makes Lunt's prices wilt some what
you think ? . $13499aud ??? for the 152mm Lunt Ha OTA and $9999aud for Coranado's 100mm OTA , obscene prices .
Sorry for getting slightly off track here Ben , but this might be the way to go using this OTA .
ps. My good mate Peter has both Quarks , Ha and CaK and they perform ( once warmed up ) easily as good as my sadly sold Coranado solarmax Ha , these Daystar filters are hard to get because of demand but well worth the asking price .
