Coronado SolarMax 40 Etalon and BF5 Blocking Filter

Hydrogen alpha viewing and imaging at an affordable cost. A great toe in the water to an intriguing hobby.
Coronado SM40 paired with a BF5. Fit these to a small refractor and either image as I did, or use an eyepiece for solar viewing. Prominence features and surface details are visible. The BF5 is designed for focal lengths of 500mm or less.
Excellent condition. Both components are housed in a small perfectly suited "Pelican" style case.
Add scope, and camera (or eyepiece) and go. Adapter will be needed unless the threads are the same, I self-fabricated an adapter for my FS60, this can be included if you can use it.
AU$900 plus post. I'll absorb the PayPal fees.
