Description

I got this idea from a Hungarian friend and assembled myself. You get the resolution of the 152/1200 Bresser refractor in H-alpha when you look in the "reversed" Lunt 60DS telescope. So big H-alpha scope for a small investment !

The principle is not complicated: I return the beam of the Bresser to opposite direction, and make it parallel again with an additional lens ( black tube in front of the Lunt ). Collimation is a bit tricky but doesn't take more than some minutes now ;-). The image is impressive visually and with my ASI178MM as well !
