No pics...sorry.

I'd been on a very tight work schedule, but was finally about to score a PST "nooner" (ahhhh... solar nirvana once again). Alas it was not going to happen quite so easily, as the view was uncharacteristically devoid of detail.

A quick examination revealed the culprit: a somewhat foggy, "rust" had begun taking over the objective (arrrgh!) It had always been stored in an equipment-friendly environment (my other Coronado stuff... some older than the PST... exhibit no such degradation).

It had been several months since my previous PST outing and, to be honest, it likely had already been breaking down at that point but I did not realize it (or examine) at that time.

I am the original owner of this one... it was the first and only repair and was returned with the same serial number.

Oh yeah... RE the repair: I AM a happy camper, but for the lack of time to use it( sigh!)

PS: A big thank you to all here in the CloudyNights Solar forum for helping me maintain my daily solar "fix" (I am reduced to lurking these days)!
