Managed to get a few minutes of sunshine today...
Atleast it allowed me to set up and "play" with the filter tuning. You can definately see the difference at 0.4A when it comes to surface detail. The granulation literally jumps out and the small active areas are easily visible ( this was using a 7.4 plossl) the proms ( not many around) are not as easy as in the single stack, could be a mixture of the Doppler shift and broad variations in velocity.
I've also got a Lumicon Prom eyepiece with a bandwidth of 1.4 - 1.5A but it needs at least a f20 beam. Managed to pick up a 77mm Deep red ( 25A) filter from our mate Oldfield So in Hong Kong, so that combined with a UV-IR filter will be worth trialing on the 10" LX200 to see the differences with the SolarMax...
If I can get a bit more than a few minutes clear skies I'll try and get some images. It's at times like this I appreciate the Ozzie skies.......
