Stan, there will be a new model coronado available from Meade (they bought coronado) that is 60mm, and $1600. it has a tuning lever too, so you can set it for any features you want. I want one.

I couldn't think of the right words at the time and so I used the word 'research' which is was not quite appropriate because 90mm is still a relatively small solar telescope. What I was trying to say is "It makes one wonder if the increase in resolution or detail justifies the cost of going to a larger aperture one, such as the 90mm Coronado."
