It should be noted that I sometimes gazed at the sun with H-alpha for hours. The danger to the casual public is probably slight, but anyone who used the H-alpha a lot before its repair should take note.
I'm reserving final judgement until I see the doctor.
SLAS is telling the public it is safe, seems prudent SLAS should do some inspections. H-alphas that are 10-15 years old should be serviced. Does point to an advantage of the PST's. Harder if not impossible to damage.
