Purchased a Lunt telescope

I had posted before about researching a solar telescope.  I decided to purchase the Lunt LS50THA 50mm Pressure Tuned H-Alpha telescope.  I ordered it but it took around 2 months to arrive.  I purchased the larger B600 blocking system.

The packing box was well padded and there wasn’t anything to assemble.  I put the telescope on a table-top camera tripod through not sure it would be steady but at least something to be able to look at it.  The “manual” was a single sheet of paper.  I removed and re-attached the blocking filter just to see how that worked.  I also unscrewed the pressure tuning system.

I had purchased a Tele Vue Sol-Searcher and installed it.

I plan on purchasing a camera tripod to start using it before getting an equatorial mount.  So, next step is to try it out on the next sunny day.
