Have at it. Since my bad experience with Lunt, I'll never buy another anyways..

lol....this could turn in to quite a lucrative gig...

I book the flights, claim the airmiles, pay the airfare, meet you guys, and get scopes for £7000 less than UK RRP, which I then sell on for .....(just kidding)




Well if it would divert you from doing vile unspeakable things to poor defenseless PSTs I'm all for it.

That did the trick, what a difference! Surface detail is now much darker and sharper. AR regions very detailed, even proms seem improved. Thanks! David

Solar Ken - This one.

Make sure you are adjusting the wheel all the way. I have two "feels" in my wheel. It starts off turning very easily and I get to a point where it gets a little stiffer. If you stop where it gets a little stiffer then you may not be getting on band. It sounds like you are not quite on band in the middle of the FOV. When I have my etalon spot on and the sun is centered in the field the entire disk is on band but the center of the on band region is ever so slightly shifted to the right and up. If I let the sun drift to the edge of the BF1200 FOV then it starts to drop off band and I can't see as good of detail. With a BF600 I would never find this off band ring on the outside of the FOV.
