Reaches focus using the following: 
1.25″ eyepiece, 2″ eyepiece, ToUCam, Lumenera, SBIG, SLR, DSLR*, afocal, CCTV Video,

Recommended:  Tele Vue 55mm Plossl eyepiece for full disk or Tele Vue 32mm or 40mm plossl eyepieces for higher power views with the SR-127 Solar Telescope

*For best results, Daystar does NOT recommend
imaging with DSLR or any color CCD camera.

Hydrogen Alpha is always best imaged
using a native B&W CCD chip
