    I'm interested to know the cheapest way to get the best image (ok...aren't we all?)... What do you think about getting a cheap Newtonian. Remove the alumination/reflexion coating from the secondary or the primari or both. It should remove 99.999999% of light. Then you can use a H alpha filter on the eyepiece?

    Have you heard of Chiro, the faithful dog of the late Akira Fujii, noted Japanese astrophotographer? At one time Chiro was named director of an observatory. Also I seem to recall Chiro found a freshly fallen meteorite -- which is probably the only kind of astronomical discovery a dog can make. Maybe Luna should be the honorary director of your observatory.

    • @AstroStace
