ah yes I see - btw i reread the ad blurb and saw this "It's all part of the Lunt Solar System H-Alpha Telescopes double pass system which has an estimated bandpass of <0.55 Angstroms and is capable to providing ultra high resolution and high contrast views of both surface and edge detail under good to excellent seeing conditions. "



so it is down around what you were talking about
