Got my PST today, it came well packed as always Anacortes was wonderful to deal with!

Mounted the PST on my 2.4" Unitron EQ- mount, they are a perfect match.

Slid in a 32mm Televu, all i can say is UNREAL, details everywhere, the PST has to be the best deal in astronomy for the price, talk about WOW factor!

So far the PST is a knock out, lots of proms even a loop off the suns disk about 11 o clock! I find my old K 12.5mm eyep from the 60's gives the best views, seems widefield eye's dont work as well with the PST, also if i drape myself with a cloth contrast is much better.

If anyone is thing about buying a PST, then don't wait it's best $500 you can spend!

Great to hear that you're real pleased with your PST.

Yeh, I broke down and ordered one too (from the sponsor). The feedback from an earlier post re "Is viewing the sun boring" is what made me decide to take the plunge. I had been mulling it over for months, but as someone pointed out, do we ever tire of viewing the Moon, Jupiter, or Saturn?

Of course, when I get it will probably turn cloudy for a month.
