Don't you just hate waiting ...........
Here is a couple pics of my white light solar setup to keep you going till your scope arrives
The Tak FS60CB + CQ 1.7X module + Baader 2" SCT Clicklock + Baader 2" Cool Ceramic Herschel Prism + Vixen LVW 22mm 2" EP.
At the moment it is 'jury rigged' while awaiting an adapter and a 105mm CSV conversion kit from TakAmerica. As it is the ClickLock adapter is locked onto the focuser directly using the 6 grubscrews but this will be replaced by a M55.9>50.8 UNC threaded reducer next week. The picture shows the remaining infocus available with the scope focused on Sol. The CSV tube will gain 22mm less the 10mm lost to the thread reducer, so a net gain of 12mm.
