new refractor

Post by alessbonsai »

Can you recommend a 102mm refractor to wear for the sun? I saw the BRESSER Messier AR-102/1000 Hexafoc Optical Tube, 339 Euros and an AP 102/1100 ED Planet OTA Apo Apochromatic Refractor, 800 Euros, if you have any other advice? I would take the bresser but I'm not sure of the quality. the teknosky (and I'm not sure if it's an apo) leaves me in doubt about the APO for the sun.

I use a bresser 100mm and an opticstar 127mm for G-band and Cak, both great scopes and cheap.
