HI Stephan,

No I haven't purchased the PST yet! the keyword is yet.
I do have the thousand Oaks full aperture glass filter which produces a nice amber color and not the annoying white or blue image.

MY C6RGT has an aperture stop cap which is reduced to 4 inches so I bought the 4 inch filter, so far the Sun has been just about bare of sunspots, we are still at the Solar minimun cycle for suspots, but we should be emerging from this cycle pretty soon. I am waiting for some to show up so that I can take images using the DSI with a focal reducer on my C6RGT.

I always look a the SOHO site daily to see if there is anything worth photographing, BUt with a PST I would be imaging everday just to capture any Solar prominces and to see the sun in Hydrogen Alpha alone is awsome.

Dennis
