Coronado Personal Solar Telescope
The Coronado Personal Solar Telescope represents an economical new approach to serious solar viewing. The Coronado Personal Solar Telescope shows you much more of the living Sun than an ordinary glass or Mylar white light solar filter that shows only sunspots. For no more than the cost of a single premium eyepiece, the Coronado Personal Solar Telescope reveals the ever-changing tapestry of prominences leaping off the edges of the solar disk and the explosive upheavals of flares and filaments on the face of the Sun. All of this is visible in addition to sunspots in exquisite detail.The Coronado Personal Solar Telescope consists of a 400mm focal length 40mm aperture f/10 refractor with an integrated full aperture hydrogen alpha solar filter. The scope’s achromatic doublet objective lens is fully multicoated. The filter has a <1.0 Ångstrom passband, centered on the 6562.8 Ångstrom H-Alpha line. The passband width gives balanced views of prominences and surface detail alike. The filter is thermally stable, so there is no drifting off the H-Alpha line as the filter heats up during use. The 5mm clear aperture of the blocking filter portion of H-alpha system (built into the diagonal housing) is ideally matched to the focal length of the telescope to give full disk views of the Sun.
