Has anyone gotten or used one of these yet and what are your opinions of it?

Anyone?

I do not have a Gemini but had a Chromosphere for a while . I guess this could be a solution if you don't have time to wait for a temperature setting change to take effect . You are essentially buying 2 etalons in 1 housing , if anything goes wrong with either etalon you would loose them both while Daystar does a repair . The price of the Genini is the same as what I paid for my Coronado 90mm external etalon . When I compare what I can do with a 90mm etalon to a Quark Gemini the 90mm etalon will offer a lot more options in my opinion . I have nothing against Daystar and have owned their products , nothing beats their Quantum series . All I am saying is $2500 would be a decent solar budget and could offer many options .

Here is a review that I found on the Gemini

I have the Chromosphere and get good results for sure even on Proms but am curious about this.

I use my Quark with my Stellarvue ST80, Lunt ED102, Skywatcher ED120 and also my Lunt LS50 and LS80. I guess I really don't need anything else, but am curious anyway
