I had an opportunity to look through a Solarscope Ltd. 50mm unobstructed hydrogen alpha filter this past weekend at the South Jersey Star party. Wow! The views of the disk showed great granulation and filaments. The promenances were sharp and the detail in them stunning.

I had never heard of this company and thought I was looking through a 40mm Coranado. But the detail was waaay greater than I had ever seen in the 40mm. The fellow who owned it stated that he had upgraded from a 60mm Coranado to this 50mm and I can well beleive it was an upgrade.
