I have to say... I'm quite happy with the data so far

Here is another teaser image

that's a fair statement peter - they are indeed teasing. did you overexpose any shots to get any proms?

Noice!

So now that Transit of Venus and the Annular eclipse have been and gone, you'll be offloading all this solar gear??

Well...I've thought about migrating up to a 152mm....hence there may be a pair of 90mm etalons coming up for sale

That said, I've found pre-objective etalons (while not inexpensive) are very well behaved. No hot-spots or banding. Might be a case of the grass being greener.. But I'm hoping to have a Lunt 152mm to play with for a day or two in a few months from now.... just to be sure!
