Meade Personal Solar Telescope PST
Meade SKU: PST | Helix SKU: MEPST
Overview
The Personal Solar Telescope (PST) is a Coronado innovation. The world's most 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 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.
Features a 40mm diameter dedicated Ha optical system with 30mm internal etalon primary blocking filter and incorporated focuser and bandpass fine adjustment controls and built in solar viewfinder. 400mm focal length, f/10 focal ratio, with Kellner 20mm eyepiece. Tripod not included. Weight is 3 pounds.
Mounting options include use on a standard photo tripod (scope is threaded for a standard camera 1/4-20 mounting bolt). A custom hard case is available separately - see stock number MEPSTC.
Open up a whole new world of astronomy with the Coronado PST.

Meade SolarMax II 40mm Double Stacking Etalon SME-40
$ 599.00
Meade SolarMax II 40mm Double Stacking Etalon SME-40
Coronado by Meade SolarMax II 40mm Double Stacking Etalon with RichView tuning system. 40mm diameter primary H-Alpha etalon filter. This add on filter reduces the normal bandwidth of a SolarMax 40 telescope or filter set from the single stack .7A performance to a more restrictive .5A, increasing visibility of surface detail and active regions on the Solar disc. MUST be combined with a primary SolarMax 40 filter and blocking filter, complete Coronado SolarMax 40 telescope, or a PST telescope.
Includes patented RichView tuning assembly allows direct tuning of the primary filter etalon. No other commercially available Ha telescope can provide the tuning range and accuracy of the SolarMax II. Now you can tune for the highest contrast views of active regions, filaments and surface detail, or quickly and easily re-tune for prominences on the solar limb.
Please note: this filter CANNOT be used as a stand alone solar filter. Immediate and irreversible eye damage may result.
