wow!, the 90mm really does show alot!

Class image alright!
That scope would cost approx €15k.

Below is an image from a double-stacked Solarmax 40 of the same features.

Above is a link which shows the difference in detail between h-alpha filters of different bandpasses.

if you had 30K handy, you could make a binoscope out of 2 of them :lol:

Thanks goodness we only have two eyes or this would become an expensive hobby!

Wow, those recently posted links-to-pictures really have me in awe. Just think that for centuries visual astronomy during the day was so limited because we couldn't really see the sun (if you know what I mean!). Now look at what can be purhased for a couple hundred €€€ (Corona PST etc), and then if you have more money, and see all that extra detail, in more technical scopes/filters - in safety too.
