The Takahashi Sky
90, when used for H-Alpha solar imaging, has a 90 mm Baader C-ERF on
the front lens hood; a custom 5.71x telecentric mounted on the back,
and
a Solar Spectrum 0.2Å H-Alpha filter behind the
telecentric.
The camera behind the filter is a Lumenera Skynyx 2-1 CCD camera.
A set of Solarscope
double stacked 60 mm 0.5Å
H-Alpha filters mounted on the front of a William Optics 80 mm f/6 Lomo
triplet apo
refractor. At the back of the telescope is a Solarscope
20 mm photographic blocking filter and a Lumenera Skynyx 2-1 CCD

SP-C8 with video camera attached.. The
video
cable is attached to a JVC 3300 S-VHS tape deck which is kept inside
the
house. Video out from the deck goes to an old Commodore 64
monitor
which I keep by the telescope.
Classic 1973 10" f/6 Cave Astrola. This is
the Astrola Custom Super Deluxe model and features a 60 mm guide scope,
camera counter balance weights and R.A. and Dec. correction

The optics on this scope were really fantastic.
