My next step in our awesome (but expensively frustrating ) hobby is H-alpha Solar.
In my research of the wise and knowledgeable members here and abroad, narrowed down to a Quark Chromosphere. Hopefully find a good one ... apparently not all QC pass.
If you have one for sale, let me know with price and perhaps a pic to indicate functionality.
I've one currently I'm thinking of moving on, but have been too lazy to do so.
It's actually the Nikon camera lens version and comes with a classic 300mm ED lens, electric focussing ring and a sol finder. Gives nice full disk views visually - just need to add a diagonal and an eyepiece.
It comes with a 2" focuser adaptor too if you prefer the added reach of a refractor.
I've used it visually mainly but it seems to perform well photographically. My camera displays some banding, so solar flats may be needed, but it certainly does the job at a fraction of the cost of other options!
