Sun Party??

Hi,
With the introduction of the Coronado PST, it seems Solar observation is changing radically compared to when we could only view sun spots. =)
And now they're introducing the CaK version with a COOL BLUE solar image (from what I gather). =)

Well, honestly, I have never had a chance to view the sun through a PST before and am pretty curious how it would look like and I'm sure there are others who are not as fortunate too. =)

I'm was just wondering if some of the PST owners or even a vendor like Lee could "organise" something to allow people like me to experience a H-a or even CaK(if that's in SPore already) look of the sun. =)

It seems like during a recent informal survey on an American Astro Forum, the PST was one the most used scopes of 2005 and I was tempted to join the PST fever but am not ready to throw in the money yet .. =)

Maybe just an informal gathering? When the skies are clearer of course ... =)

Just a thought.

From what I've read in a review (S&T ?), the CaK version is really more for solar photography than visual use. But the pictures in their ads look pretty awesome !

Maybe the next product coming out will be one which only allows the green spectrum. Then they will complete the RGB components for imaging. hahaha...

Hate to say this but...I think that will also be the time where we will have one of the biggest scams concerning Wolf-Rayet stars... =P :roll:
