[^54]: Hydrogen Alpha Filter.
[^55]: DayStar Hydrogen Alpha Filter needed accessories:
[^56]: Choose just one dark cloth.
[^57]: Setting up for the August 2017 Total Solar Eclipse, I couldn't locate the sun using the camera's viewfinder since the sun was so danged bright. I ended up draping a windbreaker over the camera (not the lens) to block out the sunlight. This dark cloth, typically used for focusing 4×5 to 8×10 view cameras, will be handy. It's silver on one side to reflect the light and heat, and black on the other side to block out the brightness of the sun, and the surrounding area.
[^58]: Choose just one tracking configuration.
[^59]: If Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Motorized Mount Astro Package S20420 is chosen, purchase these items also.
[^60]: If Celestron Advanced VX GoTo German Equatorial Mount is chosen, purchase these items also.
[^61]: If iOptron SkyGuider Pro EQ Camera Mount is chosen, select these items also.
[^62]: Choose just one software controller.
[^63]: Canon super telephoto lenses that have drop-in filters do not have front filter threads. Use the outside diameter (O.D.) to determine the diameter for the slip-on filter.
[^64]: Bad reviews. Cannot hande Canon 5D IV with EF 100-400mm.
[^61]: If [iOptron SkyGuider Pro Camera Mount with iPolar (Head & Mount Only)](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1490837-REG/ioptron_3550a_skyguider_pro_camera_mount.html ) is chosen, select these items also.
