Re: My solar setup
Thanks, guys!
Yes,DeepSolar64, you need to get a binoviewer. I use the William Optics one and it is GREAT! I don't do visual with my Quark without the binoviewer. Use matched 25mm and 32mm Plossls with the binoviewer and your good to go. They don't have to be top of the line Plossls either.

Re: My solar setup
Hello again Bob.
Nice to see that you have started posting images on SolarChat - well done there.
Your set-up looks great and interesting too.
I also have a Wiliiam-Optics Binoviewer, which doesn't get used often, but certainly know it can be a good addition...
Good also to see your reflection in the glazing (using an iPad) ??
Thanks for sharing
Terry

Re: My solar setup
Hi,Terry-
Thanks again for your help! I am REALLY proud of this setup. The WO Binoviewer is totally awesome on this setup. It just gives that WOW reaction when doing visual.
Yes,I am using the Samsung iPad! Good observation!
Best always,
