Man, I have got the fever and I have never even looked through it. I didn't
realize it had an H-alpha filter in the package (it does, right?) I just

my Dob purchase, but in the future, would it be a waste to buy the PST
when you can buy a regular refractor and just add the filters? One, I have
heard that it can damage your optics, and two, those filters seem to cost
four figures. Am I missing something here, or is the PST the only
affordable
way to view the sun in all it's glory (most of it anyways)?
Thanks,

Hello,

Only a few words... PST is much cheapper than filters.... And it works
really GREAT !!! very quick to ajust.... Rally nice, you will never
regrett it...

I'm using it every day...... (when there is no cloud..... not very
often this summer)
