Brantuk Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Basic PST's are around £500 to £600 new - you can get them around £300-£350 second hand - sometimes less if you find a bargain. This one of Steve's was a smashing deal if it's the one from sgl a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ibbo Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) Cheapest is as Kim says PST or a bit dearer the Lunt eqiv Unfortunately I did not get the "deal" and had to pay full price for a new PST as I wrecked the old one in a moment of madness This is a modified PST which only takes the Etalon from the PST everything else comes from different places which of course =£££ a standard PST will give good views but do not expect the above from one!!! a standard PST is now over £600 :o Steve Edited May 8, 2013 by Ibbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T A WOW Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Lovely image ibbo. Can you get a full disc image? Also, is that what you actually see through the EP or has it had some processing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 yes stacked and proceesed a full disc image requires a mosaic with this scope I did some last year http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/1899-ha-mosaics-24th-july/ with the eye surface detail and proms are visible but not as good as a stacked image Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 "Unfortunately I did not get the "deal" and had to pay full price for a new PST ..... a standard PST is now over £600" Wow - they've gone up a bit since I was shopping for mine - bad luck on the sgl one Steve.
