What a carry on.
What a carry on.
Hi all thanks for the replies to my earlier post. Today the skies are a milky blue so I thought I would set up hoping to get some sort of view of the Sun but I could not get any definition of either the surface or, if there were any, prominences. Just to go back to my earlier post about which scope, as I mainly focus on the Sun I have a couple of questions, as I say I mainly hit the Sun so, is there much difference between AR and ED? If so what? Double or triplet? Nearly all the reviews speak about the stars at night but as I will be looking and photographing the Sun can anyone advise me on which scope. I have a Celestron Edge 8” for nighttime work and a Lunt 50 as well as my Explore Scientific ed apo 80, which I use with my Quark, it is this scope I want to replace with one approximately 120.Please advise.
