The Imaging Package

As Solar Maximum approaches, the addition of a secondary front mounted interference filter and the upgrade of the rear trimming filter, the visual package quickly becomes a superb visually enhanced instrument with the ability to also image the Sun utilizing basic camera equipment.

Adding the front filter provides a view of the Sun in virtual 3D. An active ball of churning boiling gasses that spew from the surface in what can be violent eruptions. Cause and effect can be viewed and imaged in real time.

An upgrade to the visual system which come standard with the pressure tuning system, putting a research grade instrument into the hands of the observer and the imager.

Probably the only Solar Telescope you will ever need.

 
 
 

Package Features

Ultra-Narrow Band Hydrogen-alpha (656.28nm) Dedicated System.

A 60mm refractor based system with additional 50mm aperture secondary removeable filter.

Dual etalons with the NEW Pressure Tuner allows for <0.5 Angstrom bandpass, providing 3D like enhaced surface detail.

The larger rear trimming filter allows for imaging with most basic camera equipment.

The system includes the clamshell with threaded holes for mounting, dust caps, and is delivered in 2 Aluminum re-enforced cases.

An eyepiece is not included, and although any eyepiece will work, we recommend the Lunt Zoom.
