Lunt Solar Telescopes/Filter sets v. Coronado

[steerroger]

I'm trying to upgrade from a double-stacked PST.

Is either the Lunt filter set on a TV-76 or the dedicated Lunt 60mm telescope a worthwhile inprovement over a PST?  Would the Coronado 40mm telescope be better?

Can the PST double-stack filter be used seperately, fitted to a TV-76 using a Blocking filter?  Is this worth doing? 

Anyone got any more details than on the Lunt and Widescreen websites?

Anyone got an answer to a query to Widescreen?

Hi

On the Lunt front (as it were) I would try to find any decent images taken first before making any decisions... in fact do the same with the PST/Double Stack scenario also.  Images taken are more likely to reveal any good or bad points with optical systems and the higher the resolution the more precisely these things have to be aligned.

Have you considered the DayStar - loads of pics out there to see what you can really do.

I have a few old pics at http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~kevsmith/H%20alpha%20High%20res%20Images.html

Just my two penneth.

The Lunt 60 is ok but make sure you get the 12mm blocking filter.
SM40 is ok too but you'll need an adapter for your scope and again get the big blocking filter (BF10).
