A telescope tube is referred to as an optic because it contains the components necessary to collect and concentrate light.
With H-alpha telescopes you can observe prominences, flares and filaments on the Sun. Additionally, these telescopes have an etalon filter and a blocking filter.
Caution: you can also buy versions without the blocking filter. You should never use these without a blocking filter.
Eyepieces are needed for observing. Depending on the focal length, you achieve a certain level of magnification.
The specification 1.25" refers to the diameter of the connector (1.25" = 31.8 millimetres).
