The versatile Lunt 50
Having used the red PT module of my Lunt 50 for modifying my 115 mm refractor - the module returns to the original configuration only for full disc imaging - I discovered that the remaining white tube can be used for WL and CaK too. I simply have to add a M68/2" adapter to the tube and a helical focuser (rotating or not) to my Baader wedge and Lunt CaK module. Based on configuration - visual or imaging - one or two additional extenders may be needed to bring focus inside the focuser range. This allows to obtain a very portable - although very small - multi-purpose solar scope, ideal for travelling (just wait until the pandemic is gone...). Thanks for looking.
