Hi Ken,
Thanks!
Yes we take the front 40mm etalon off the Lunt and attach it to the front of the Solar Scout 60. This has two effects.
a/ it double stacks the Solar Scout and b/ it reduces the aperture of the Solar Scout which counter intuitively is a very good thing as the Solar Scout is a poor performer due to too low a focal ratio.

Pictures attached of the adapter and the set up.
