Coronado PST solar telescope for H-Alpha observation, 0.5 Angstrom

The Personal Solar Telescope (PST) is a Coronado innovation. The world´s most popular telescope to observe the Sun. This 40 mm diameter highly portable dedicated solar telescope features completly internal non-removable and student safe solar filtering optics with a 0.5 angstrom hydrogen-alpha (Ha) bandpass for great surface detail. The PST will show you the dynamic, ever changing prominences at the edge of the Sun as well as filaments and other surface details in amazing detail, all in the brilliant and distinctive red color of hydrogen-alpha light.

Study of the solar disk is now within the reach of the amateur astronomer. The PST represents the same technology and quality that goes into a SolarMax series telescope available to the new solar astronomer at the cost of some single premium eyepieces.

The double-stacking etalon is already screwed to the PST. The filter reduces the bandwidth and thus increases the contrast of the H-alpha structures on the sun.

Features a 40 mm diameter dedicated Ha optical system with 30 mm internal etalon primary blocking filter, external 40 mm etalon blocking filter and incorporated focuser and bandpass fine adjustment controls and built in solar viewfinder. 400 mm focal length, f/10 focal ratio, with eyepiece. Tripod not included.
