Nice comparison, Pedro, and lovely images across the spectrum. The Solarscope 50 doesn’t look as even as the Lunt or Coronado scopes, would you agree? Worth the money?

Thanks Stu

Yes I agree, the solarscope 50 does not produce a uniform disk but it is a great grab and go telescope for visual observation. I got it used for an excellent price, hard to refuse.

The Solarscope is a little disappointing, I would have expected it to be more uniform, my 100mm is much better than that, but then again I don't have a chip big enough to fit the whole disc.

Looks like you had a fun time on the patio :bow :hamster:

Nice set of images there Pedro, looks like the 50 needs just a bit too much tilt to get it on band hence the uneven field.
