Actually I've just got rid of my Tak (I'll have to update my sig!) but I have definitely considered the Quark plus an ED80 or something. I have a 120mm f5 achro which might be alright with the Quark but I've read they work best when at around f30 so, taking into account their integrated 4.3x barlow, it would be better with something around f7.
Thanks for clearing that up. I used to have a PST so I'm familiar with how that worked, and the views, but I've had no experience with pricier dedicated solar scopes.
Also is the result of double stacking to increase the contrast? does it actually reveal anything that wouldn't be visible to a non double stacked scope? (something at 0.7A)
