I received this from Ralph this morning. The NEAF solar star party should be REALLY good this year.

Hey Ralph, it that one of the new Lunt Solar Systems LS9000?

Ralph went for the new Lunt Corneal Implant Blocking Filter option to supplement the replacement lens implant he uses for enhanced CaK viewing:

I was wondering how you tune the T-Max
Probably with a Fork-Lift and some Arnie muscles.

I guess it should be installed just in front of the mirror for better balance, otherwise, the rocker box will be too tall...
