Paul, I was very happy with my ES102 triplet with 2-inch Lunt Herschel wedge and Baader Solar Continuum filter until last Saturday when I did a solar outreach event with a few other guys. One of them had a 6-inch SCT with a full aperture Baader Astrosolar film filter and a Baader Solar Continuum filter. We did a direct head-to-head comparison between the two scopes and the SCT won. The SCT showed far more detail. Fortunately I do have my own 8-inch SCT and a full aperture Baader Astrosolar filter for it. Next time we'll see who's scope shows more detail. Harumph!
