Lunt Mini SUNoculars Review

The Lunt Mini SUNoculars I bought at the 2022 SSSP are a neat idea, but there are a few problems with execution. The FOV is a bit large, meaning the sun appears relatively small. You can see if there are sunspots, but you can't really see any detail. A more serious problem is that the eyepieces are small, especially when used by an adult. There is too much leakage around the edges which is dangerous when you are aiming at the sun, and there is too high a chance for an accidental direct look. These really need large eyecups to protect the sides of your eyes as you try to find the sun. I will be 3D-printing some for mine. In general I found this thing to be a good idea but the manufacturer placed too much emphasis on making them cheaply than making them well. Thanks, Stuart
