It was a most interesting day for me and excellent speakers and a wonderful setting too.

This was my first ever BAA event attended, but have been a member for a while.

Thanks to all the organising and delivering the day, much appreciated.

I should add the 1.25 was purchased by me new in 2017 when I moved on from Baader Film,
the quality is not my issue ( I think), more a curiosity of would a larger unit make a change?

It’s most interesting to read of the quality inside from your post David.
That concerns me as my Lunt 40mm Ha scope has a b600 diagonal and filter unit, however that scope performs superbly and I have compared that to other kit of similar size.
Often the kit looks good on the outside, but behind scenes it’s not the same, something I call Hotel or Shop Front engineering.
Looks good up front, but ….

Are the Baader Cool wedges any better than the Lunt wedges for instance?

Or am I expecting just too much visually in WL with a 4” scope?

Thanks gents for the responses.

I use a Baader Single Polariser and a Baader Continuum filter as my default.

I think the seeing is probably my limitation, my eyes are good and I visually observe on a very regular basis.

My train of thought was if a larger wedge or differing model might bring out any more detail,
but the 4” scope may just be what it can show on most days.

Thanks all, will call next week.

I was unable to join my fellow club members at our CPAC transit get together, work got in the way.
But I was lucky enough to sneak a scope out and get a look, sadly missing first and second contact due to an unfortunate timing of a work phone call.
Observed and enjoyed, then had a go with my phone hand held and struggled as always.
But I did get something, which was better than normal.
