Anyone ever use one of these? How is the build quality and the quality of the mirror? Seems cheap for all it seems to do.

Two HUGE sunspot groups. The one in the middle is clearly visible with the naked eye(with a solar filter).

WOW guys, three huge sunspot groups that are visible to the naked eye(with a solar filter). Just to give you a feel for how unusual this is: my professor at college who has a PHD in physics and is a armature astronomer has never seen this. For those of you that don’t have a sun filter I feel kind of sorry for you, you are missing out on a lot. But at least the picture will give you a feel for what this looks like.

New Nagler design VS older hand grenade design

Posted By Vladimir Fedosov

Anyone ever notice that stuff looks more impressive in the older design Naglers and in the Meade UWA eyepieces as compared to the new small glass TV t6 Naglers? I don’t know, to me it seems like the bigger glass makes objects look more in your face and impressive. Is it just me or have others noticed this to?

Who makes the best O-III and UHC filters?

Posted By Vladimir Fedosov

Hi I know that back in the old glory days of the old Lumicon they where considered the best but now there are a lot of new players in the game like TV. So who makes the best filters now?
