We're in for a rather large winter storm here. According to Environment Canada, my area will probably get 25cm's (10 inches) of snow this afternoon/tonight, followed by 5-10cm's of freezing rain tomorrow morning.
This morning I received a very nice email from the local hydro company stating we could expect to get blackouts tomorrow so be prepared. Good times
I left early today as the areas I was going to were already getting the white fluffies, and I wanted to get home before the mess started. That I did; I was home at a bit before 2PM. Had a coffee, got on here, and started shopping...
I've wanted a Solar Wedge for a while, but most of the scopes I have come with 1.25" focusers. I'm thinking about buying a Lunt because I can get one in that size. Not available in Canada, but AgenaAstro has one left for $329 with shipping, which would be for me almost $450.
Visually it's stunning (I've looked through one before a few years ago; I was amazed at the difference in visual compared to my Baader film) but I'd also like to use it with my
DSLR and if needed my 2.5X Powermate. I'm thinking it might go well with my SC and UV/IR filters.
The scopes I'd like to use it on would be my WO 61mm at
f/5.9 and my C80-HD at
f/11.4. Even one or the other; doesn't have to be both. Thoughts or opinions on this?
Thanks in advance and all the best,
