At 560 mm focal length and f\/7 it carries a theoretical maximum magnification near 140x, which leaves you working room on solar active regions in the morning and on planets or globular clusters the same evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFitted with the hydrogen alpha module and Doppler True pressure tuner, the tube observes the Sun with barometric fine tuning instead of tilt, so the passband stays even across the whole disk. Single stack bandpass is below 0.65 Angstrom, and adding a double stack module narrows it below 0.45 Angstrom for stronger contrast on filaments and surface structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eLifting the hydrogen alpha module off and fitting a focuser in its place converts the same optical tube into a conventional apochromatic style refractor for lunar, planetary, deep sky and terrestrial work. CNC mounting rings and a Vixen style dovetail handle attachment, a red dot sun finder handle speeds up acquisition, and an aluminum finished hard case protects the tube in transit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n
