Hi Florian,
It should not cause any damage to your TV Refractor, but the best person
who can answer this, would be "Uncle" Al Nagler himself, and you can no
doubt pose this same question to those folks on the televue Website.
Since you have a Baader Filter though, this would be IMO a better way to
view the sun, and it also makes your scope a lot safer, (provided it's
attached securely) in that nobody can perhaps accidently take a peek
through the scope while it's pointed at the Sun.
Sounds perhaps unlikely, but all it takes is for you to turn your back
for two seconds to speak with someone else at the gathering, while a
unattended child decides to take a peek.
It's also wise to never have any other type of finderscope, etc attached
to the main Tube.
I'm sure you know to zero-in on the sun by looking at the scope's shadow
on the ground.
Mark
