so if i got this Lunt 60mm Ha Double Stack Telescope (B600) it would be a very good choice? compaird to this Coronado SolarMax 40 Telescope <0.5A .

I would think that there would be a significant price difference between a double stacked 60mm scope and a single 40mm scope. If you can afford the aperture and extra filter, then go for it, but at least compare the Solarmax60 with the Lunt 60. Also be careful of the manufacturers claims as to bandpass, the view through both 60mm scopes with one etalon in place would be similar, the view doublestacked would also be similar. I think the Lunt scopes should be much cheaper as they have an ongoing sale on to try and establish themselves in the market, could represent good value ATM, but I haven't seen too many pics taken through one...
