A different PST Mod
Since I will be using my PST etalons in stage 2 mods I decided to use the golden tube and black box in a different mod. I changed the BF (BF10 for the original BF5) and fitted a Pre-Meade Coronado SM40 in front of the PST objective (that is rusted by the way). It works fine and I have another solar telescope for outreach sessions. Focus can be reached if the eyepiece is closer to the PST black box (the spacer has to be removed).
Check out some images below:

Re: A different PST Mod
Thanks, appreciate your comments
It would be better if I had a non rusted PST objective though
