Found some things ...

... under the big dust layer in my observatory warm room

:lol:

Hi,

I was able to restore my SolarMax 40 by finding all parts I had lost while diassembling and trying to build a Franken H-alpha scope and here it is. Just need to see how good it performs under the Sun. Also printed quickly a Solar finder. The red little part on the scope.

Then I also found a 52mm filter which I had changed to White light using the Mylar film for Sun imaging and printed quickly a holder for a Takahashi finderscope I had lying around.
