I guess I misunderstood what you said. I have always found the best magnification to be one that you get the entire solar disk in the field.
I m still trying to figure out where the idea of combining the Coronado and DayStar improves the Daystar comes from though. What is the aperture of the rejection filter used on the Andy? Erik, the magnification limitation with the PST is due solely to
aperture. It's only a 40mm objective.

I have found nothing on the internet the that suggests putting a coronado filter over the objective will improve solar viewing. Or any other H-Alpha filter system other than double stacking the coronado. They are different animals, for instance you do not lose detail with higher magnification provided seeing conditions allow it, with the Daystar.
