Solar telescope price hike

[04Stefan07 (Stefan)]

Just looking at some of the latest prices of Coronado and Lunt solar scopes and I can't believe how much they have increased since I purchased mine less than a year ago.

The PST is up to $1,249 and the 50mm B600 Lunt has increased to $1,799.

Also the sol searcher Finderscope has gone from $49 to $69.

That's a pretty damn big price jump.

Has normal telescope prices increased as well?

Everything has gone up with the falling dollar. Fortunately there are usually cheaper options available though which can still do the job.
