Re: Denkmeier Spectrum 60 upgrade for PST

That's my question. Wondered if this is still too new or if anyone has updated yet. Maybe need to wait a couple of months from now to get any idea.
All I can say is that for the money it does seem to be a good deal if Denk can keep to their level of performance they have in their other optical products. Wonder if they are sourcing the components or is this Denks own take on H-Alpha? If you already outlayed for the PST and its still in good working order (mine is serial# 103953, Meade built in Irvine, about 2 yrs old) then for essentially another outlay for a second PST you get into a whole other level of performance. My Lunt 50mm filter shows added resolution over the PST so I can imagine additional improvement from 50 to 60mm. This is something I while definately keep an eye on for future consideration. Especially after this weekend's encouraging solar display!
