Re: Coronado PST
I have the older Meade zoom, plus all kinds of eps !Star Dad wrote: ↑Fri Jun 12, 2020 4:41 pm I would suggest buying a zoom lens. It is relatively inexpensive. I got a Celestron 9mm-23mm (I think) it makes it a bit easier to use the scope. I don't have any low power 1.25 inch lenses (I use 2" 40,30,and 9mm in my main scope). I really enjoy the zoom on the PST.

Re: Coronado PST
Maybe some one else can fill you in on a comparison between the PST and white lite !

Re: Coronado PST
No, sorry I was not clear enough, it was a comparison from the PST and it's larger brother the 0.5a one. There's a big difference in price, I would not be able to qualify £1600, over the PST at around £600. All I would like to see is some images from the hands of another amateur. I'm wary of promo images.

Re: Coronado PST
I got the scope on Tues.and its been cloudy ever since, lol ! Tomorrow is the day, I think !Solsearcher wrote: ↑Sat Jun 13, 2020 12:38 am Congratulations on your new purchase , and that was a great price especially if it was Can $ The PST is an excellent entry level Ha solar scope and the view will be very similar to the ad images . Imaging is possible but it is better suited for viewing . Although an entry level scope there are reputable and safe modifications that can be done to a PST to enhance it's performance and make it more imaging friendly . I must add here to never attempt ANY type of change or mod to your scope unless you are 100% sure that what you are doing is proven to be safe . For now just enjoy the view , the show is about to begin !

Re: Coronado PST
I enjoyed using mine quite a bit.
The most used eyepieces for me were a Vixen LV 10mm and Vixen zoom as well as a 2x barlow occasionally.
Some very nice
You will find the views more red than orange though.
The only culture I have is from yogurt

Re: Coronado PST
Oh, yeah - and very much RED! Like a meatball. It is somewhat tricky to get your eyeball in the proper position to see the sun. I've had many people struggle with it and some - kids especially - give up.

Re: Coronado PST
I have 8 refractors of various sizes but I would like to use it in either my 80mm Equinox, f 6.25 or my 102mm Antares, f 6.4 or I might buy one for each as my 102 stays at my remote camp. I have a 150mmSolsearcher wrote: ↑Sun Jun 14, 2020 1:37 am Most W/L filters mount to the front of your scope and the mounting will be aperture specific . My preference is a Herschel wedge , they can be used in pretty well any refractor . their limitations are that they can not be used in reflectors

Re: Coronado PST
With the wedge I also use a Baader solar continuum filter and a variable polarizing filter as a "dimmer switch". Both behind the wedge in the optical path.
