Coronado <0.5 Personal Solar Telescope

|
Outline
|
This is the 0.5A double stacked version of the PST, boasting even more
surface detail. Observe the Sun like never before. It has been redesigned
with increased contrast and image brightness.
This 'little' telescope is another step toward our goal of making it possible for
everyone to, "Experience the Sun our way". The ever changing solar disk presents
iself in the PST with tunable views of prominences and surface detail previously
unavailable at even 3 times the cost.
Sub angstrom H-A systems have long been cost prohibitive for the amateur.
Designs other than the Coronado are difficult to use because of temperature and
F-Ratio requirements. Not only does the PST have a bandpass of 1.0 angstrom but
it is also thermally stable and requires no more time to operate than putting
in a eyepiece and adjusting the focus fits any standard photo video tripod.
The PST represents the same technology and quality that goes into a SolarMax
series telescope but with a few unique design characteristics that allows to
offer it for less than some premium eyepieces. The PST will show you prominences,
active regions, filaments, as well as other surface details – at <0.5 angstrom.
The PST is manufactured from milled aluminium, not plastic! The P.S.T. comes
with a built in Sol Ranger for easy alignment and a Kellner eyepiece.
