Say hello to possibly the biggest collection of solar telescopes in the southern hemisphere
I've just got them home after a three day adventure to collect them from North Qld and welcome them to their new home. I met Andy Lunt and his team a few years ago as they personally escorted them to Australia and boy do they perform. The trio of scopes to the right are all 100mm and cover CaK, Ha and full spectrum, the monster on the left is the magnificent 152mm Ha DS. Are there any more in Aus? I know there is one in New Zealand and one in South America. It's a stunning instrument!
Sadly for me, I'm going to have to let the 152 go because I can't afford to keep the lot, so watch out in the classifieds if you have deep pockets and love observing our nearest star
I would like to do a little imaging with it before then though
Of course, since getting them home, its been 100% cloudy and with storms a plenty. Sorry SE Qld!!!!
