Thanks James & Eric

I used the Helios and the FS60C+Daystar Chromosphere for visual observation

The DS SM90II/SM60 works like a charm with the TV101 (great double stack combo)

Pedro,
How much luck have you had with DayStar? Especially with the Quark? I hear even more horror stories about them than I do Meade Coronado. But I have seen some really nice images taken using Quark filters.

I had to send the Quark back three times until I got a good one. It is a lottery...

That sucks, Pedro. I am glad you finally got a good one. What do you think of DayStar's customer service? Did they handle your situation well?

That SM90II/SM60 on the TV101 looks superb, Pedro. Great detail and contrast.

Thanks again guys

I got an excellent service from an english dealer. The problem is not the dealer but the quality of the Daystar eyepieces. Only one in 5 is acceptable...

It's not the etalons themselves? I might be misunderstanding you. The Quark is advertised as a Ha " eyepiece " filter.

James: There is an etalon inside the eyepiece.
