The most popular solar telescopes on the market are made by Lunt Solar Systems. Normally you're at the telescope and can adjust the tuning of the etalon as you observe or image. But sometimes it's useful to be able to remotely control the tuning of the etalon, either because you'd rather be indoors, or you don't want to jiggle the scope while imaging, or you have a remote solar observatory. This review shows how to set up and operate the Lunt PC-USB pressure tuner controller. Lunt lent me this unit to review and I'm returning it now that I've finished with it.
