Baader 60mm f/4.1 Vario Finder SOLAR MOD
Since it is raining I was occupied with an interesting solar mod. The Baader 60mm f/4.1 Vario Finder is a high quality piece of equipment.

Below you will find a few images of an interesting mod for solar visual observation (I will use it as a finder for my other solar scopes).
A Coronado SM40 + BF10 and a Thousand Oaks black polymer solar can now be used with this great small scope.

Pedro, this is really interesting. I was thinking of how to modify a finder into a solar instrument. So I bookmarked this page for future reference!

Thanks. It is very easy to do this mod. If the finder is of high quality it helps

Interesting mod indeed. Can you elaborate on the adaptor to get the tmax unit onto the objective cell?

Thanks Mark
I used the finder plastic cover and a M49mm to M52mm photo adapter ring. The SM40 screws on this ring.
The black round part is from an old lens.
