Personal Solar Telescope + Case Bundle
Product Description
The Personal Solar Telescope (P.S.T.) is a Coronado innovation, and a highly popular telescope to observe the Sun. This 40mm diameter highly portable dedicated solar telescope features completely internal non-removable and student safe solar filtering optics with a 1.0 angstrom hydrogen-alpha (Ha) bandpass for great surface detail. The P.S.T. 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 P.S.T. 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 Coronado® Altazimuth Mount is a lightweight but sturdy altitude-azimuth mount featuring aluminum construction with tubular steel legs for excellent rigidity and perfect choice for use with your Coronado® Personal Solar Telescope. It features a convenient pan handle control for coarse movement and dual slow-motion control cables for fine movement on both the vertical and horizontal axis.
The enhanced fully multi-coated CEMAX™ 2x Barlow Lens. Specifically designed for use at H-alpha (or Ha) wavelengths, this Barlow uses optimized coatings to enhance contrast, minimize glare, and also affords excellent contrast for planetary viewing.
Enhance the portability of your PST while protecting your investment with this custom hard case.
