Re: exploring possibilities of making a dedicated solar scope.
There is no thread to turn the lens, no screws, no restraining ring, no sign of glue - this is going to be an interesting one.
And, initial attempts to simply turn in either direction does nothing.

Re: exploring possibilities of making a dedicated solar scope.
that would take quite a while, safer yes. What I intend doing is to cut down to the 4 mm mark approximately and then work by hand with either a sawblade or very fine file. The lens shall also be covered whilst I make the initial cut. Where are the SF lasers when one needs them?Lady Fraktor wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 6:05 am Perhaps a hacksaw instead so as not to damage any coatings from hot sparks?
