Won imaging the Sun damage the optics on the Astrovid 2000?
In a word, no! The Astrovid may be placed on any 1 1/4 eyepiece and the Centennial Observatory has several telescopes with Solar filters. Coincidently, one of the filters is the Coronado H Alpha filter. This filter is normally used on the Meade 10″ Telescope of the Centennial Observatory. This telescope is usually set-up during the summer solar observing sessions at the Observatory.
