The Lunt 50/350 Solar Scope. Nemesis for Silly claims

[@tectoramia-sz1lu]

The correct hex keys are usually supplied with the scope. Always check the blue blocking filter for "rash" a common problem.. They are about £15 from Bresser. If you need to replace the tuner O rings, be aware they come in two different sizes.

[@mrs_thought_and_memory]

Yes!!!! Cannot wait to see the results. Excellent x

[@ThoughtandMemory]

Me to! Should be fun, weather permitting. Then fun again shooting the idiots down.

[@mrs_thought_and_memory]

Thought and Memory These idiots, they love the troof so much, even they surely can’t deny this troof. But, I won’t hold my breath. The nibtard is strong with them.

@@mrs_thought_and_memory you know this! 🤣 I can hear it now... This is not the troof you are looking for. Move along x

Left bank two composed by Wayne Hill. It was used as a regular background for the ‘Gallary’ on the Take Hart children’s program. Fronted by the late Tony Hart. Thanks for the heads up 👍

@@ThoughtandMemory Thanks. I just was digging around for half an hour and decided it had to be a rare Lionel Hampton.

Good job! Go for it ! I can’t wait for your pictures!! Thanks !

[@ThoughtandMemory]

Fingers crossed for clear skies and back focus 😂

[@adventureswithdogs2251]

You have a very nice kit there, sir. And I'm NOT going any further with that...! Moving forward, this will also be able to show where we are in our elliptical orbit.

[@ThoughtandMemory]

Hehehe. Indeed. I have done a comparison video some while ago showing our sun at the two extremes of our orbit. 3% difference in the suns angular diameter. Cool as!

[@jamessomying]

Nice bit of kit.

[@ThoughtandMemory]

Cheers. It is indeed. Looking forward to clear skies 😊

[@Philobiblion]

The hex-head screws are English system, not metric. I didn't write down the size. I was still debilitated by the ecstasy of having found the hiding place of my english standard hex key set.

I use an 18mm Baader Orthoscopic gives me 19x and I use other orthos or TeleVue Plossls for very sharp views except my 6mm is a Perng 6mm because a 6mm ortho doesn't have but 4-5mm eye relief. A 25mm as you've discovered by now is too low a magnification.

[@frankvecsei7918]

Hi, Would you mind measuring the exact size of the foam insert. What eyepeiece suits the scope best? Thanks for sharing.

[@ThoughtandMemory]

Sadly I know longer have the lunt. Eyepieces we’re the 10mm from my skywatcher and I had another eyepiece that had a variable size which was adjusted by twisting the barrel ring on the eyepiece.

[@MrMa1981]

how the pressure tuner works and what actually do visuallyy?

[@ThoughtandMemory]

The pressure in the air chamber changes the refractive index of the air, and this shifts the tuning band. Essentially the difference in pressure slightly changes the speed at which the light passes back and forth in the chamber (doppler tuning) and this very slight difference in the resonance between the two plates is what changes the tuning (or at least this is they way it is described by Lunt. This effect allows you to switch between viewing prominences and the suns surface detail.

@@ThoughtandMemory Wow we have some modern tech davincinesse right here. Very cool. Thank you.

It will be fun watching a certain disgraced ex-physicist attempt to invent a whole new branch of hitherto unknown physics to disregard what I'm sure will be stunning results.I don't think The Brothers Grimm Book Of Fairytales will be any use to her this time!

[@ThoughtandMemory]

Oh yes. I have no doubt she may attempt to pull some shit out of her arse. Shame secchi and Soho are still legit sources according to Scott.....

[@mrnibiru5925]

Thought and Memory my guess is she will claim that you are getting “old NASA images” and showing them

[@ThoughtandMemory]

[@mrnibiru5925]

Sean White little discrepancies like that don’t matter to their cult members. The funny part is she left South Africa to go live in a doublewide with a violent con artist who is currently on 6 month house arrest for assault. My guess is that tubby removed his ankle bling and put it on her, telling her it provides some sort of stellar core protection

[@tichwykes]

I use a couple of PST's the HA is a double stack the other is a Calcium K this solar imaging lark can get very addictive. Nice Lunt btw

[@ThoughtandMemory]

Nice! I no longer have the lunt. Had fun for a bit but night sky is my favourite. 👍

[@justtim9767]

Good job, being a novice these videos help.

[@fernleystephens2436]

You'll need to watch you're back now in case the "Army of Troofers" come after you for exposing there lies. (Spelling mistakes intended).

[@ThoughtandMemory]

I'm ready for them. Rather handily the new device would make a handy cosh. In a very real sense I will be beating them with science 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
