So i decided on a PT Lunt 60mm single as my affordable scope and have just had my first Sun ( ? )with it, through my Panoptic 24 ( i bought this back to use with my ETX 125 ) an X-Cel 9mm and also my 6mm Delos. I had a very enjoyable time (a bit too cloudy now) for about 30 mins or so. I bought the scope in Oz and lovingly carried her all the way back to Tabuk where i work. So now i have decided that work get's in the way for solar viewing and sleeping get's in the way for admiring heavenly bodies !!! I look forward to all the wonderful sight's the sun is going to show me.Somehow i have to find time for my bird photography as well.Life is so very nice and the beauty of nature never cease's to amaze me.

It took me years to finally decide to get a solar scope, but I'm glad I did. The only flaw in my thinking was this: How many times have I seen beautifully clear skies during the day, only to cloud up at night and suck the wind out of a planned observing session. I thought, I'll get a solar scope to take advantage of those clear days. Hmmm, I've had the scope for about 2 months and it's seen the sun 4 times. Now I've cursed the daytime skies as well.

I would guess that you will have slightly more clear days than perfect nights. I love both the night sky and the sun!! Enjoy.
