Imaging with the new Lunt LS35THa
      07/01/09 09:19 PM

Hi everyone,

I got myself one of the new Lunt LS35THa solar telescopes recently because I'm going to see the eclipse later this month off the coast of Japan.

Optically I think it's great, especially for the money I paid, compared to the PST. However I cant get my Canon 40D to focus through it.

It has a helical focuser and a reckon it's a bit better focussed towards the most extended end of focussing. As you can imagine I'm fairly desperate to get it to focus before the 15th when I leave. I've tried it with a barlow, but no luck, if anything it's worse.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Chris
