Ultra Low Power View Possible in Day Star Quark - goodbye seeing

#1

Post by Bino-Handle »


The unbarlowed Calicum H DayStar Quark gingerly attached to a 1.25 Diagonal prisim, in this case a correct image amici, firmly attached to a Baader 1.25 click lock on the back of a Tele Vue 85mm Telescope, with a 40mm eyepiece (TV plossl or LOA neutral 32mm) removes atmospheric seeing out of the equation or more to the point - out the window - projecting an estimated ultra low 10x on our nearest star.

This was apparently news to DayStar and I am hoping to hear back if this is the case with the unbarlowed Combo Quark H-a. I presently have the barlowed standard issue H-a model and it's use is limited at my location.

May this new "combo" provide new views of the sun for all, if this is also unknown to you, may your refractor of choice also have the necessary in travel and feel free to comment.

I have not heard of any of our other solarheads using a Calcium H.
I am sure the views would be quite interesting.

My favorite! Calcium H at 396 whereas 393 Calcium is quite dim visually approaching invisibility beyond 400 nm.

But I'm not that smart occasionally.
I did write amisi diagonal. Amici.

PS

This might be lower than 10x and all the detail is there.

I used to do a lot of Calcium K viewing when Coronado first made their K telescope.
It would be interesting to see what H viewing is like.

PS I fixed amici for you :)

Thanks!

Another technique is to put a 1.25 reducer on the barlowed Quark snout but I haven't gotten this to work yet or how much it would reduce.

The CaH is quite bright and able to be binoviewed in excellent seeing!

I love your willingness to think out of the box, please join us in the monthly chat post at the top of this forum too.

We are all a bit strange though so I hope you can handle it.

:banana-parachute:
Mentored by Keith, Mike, John and Bill. (The old guard) and forever grateful.
PST mod stage 2 - Quark on extended loan and yet to repay with value ;)
Camera- ASi 174 mono no tilt required.
BF10,15,30 straight through with baader ffc. (looking to replace the rusted IFT on 10 + 15 with a maier replacement)
Lots of nighttime scopes and stuff but focus on the sun.
