This is the first light of the APO tube I just bought, and put into the lunchbreak-heliobservatory: ASI 178MM (cooled), Baader K-Line Filter 1.25″ (double stacked), TS-Optics 76/342 TS76EDPH, mountpusher, EQ3-mod
I really like the design of the tube, how short it is, though its focal length needs either an expansion tube or the flattener, which I figured wouldn’t be a good fit for the Sun.
The tiny additions I put onto the tube: the focuser and the cardboard adapter for the ND3.8 filter I already have for the MC102/1300.
It was a really nice surprise to see the Sun in much more detail, than through the Canon EF 200mm f2.8L II USM
