Default why no 60mm PST?

So how come they can make a nicely operable 40mm PST and not up the anti to
a 60mm?
I'd pay double the price in a minute just to get the extra aperture.

Because the already make a 60mm solar scope and you can pay a lot more than
double the price of the PST to get one. The business model works for them.

There it is, how-bout that!!

But if he wants to spend twice as much,
than he can buy the SolarMax 40, and still
get a performance boost over the PST.


I would love to have any of the SolarMax series,
might be able to get a 40, or possibly a 60 sometime
next year.
