Hi There,
What are you wanting to achieve? Do you have any solar kit already?

Hello
I already have a PST which is fine, but I would like something with more diameter, to have more magnification and maybe use a daystar quark, in addition to the esprit100 I also have a GSO rc8, but I think that an ERF filter costs like a kidney

The Espirit100 with it's f5.5 is rather fast (and unsuitable really) for either Ha or Ca solar, it would be nice for WL though. My advice if you don't use it would be to sell it and get something more suitable. Something like a 120/7,5 skywatcher would be a good trade in for your needs.
