Coronado Solar Telescopes in Hydrogen-Alpha Wavelength

Why buy a telescope that can only look at one object?

The Sun in Hydrogen-Alpha wavelength is the most dynamic object you will ever see while pointing a telescope skywards. Constantly changing and never repeating itself, observing the Sun through a Coronado SolarMax telescope will hold your attention for a lifetime. These dedicated Solar telescopes serve to enhance that view for you, your family, and friends. Coronado Solar telescopes provide an easy and portable set up that is always ready right out of the box.

Why buy a Solar Telescope as opposed to a Solar Filter?

Coronado has developed a series of telescopes as a result of this often asked question. While almost all refractors and most reflecting telescopes can be used with a Coronado filter, no other telescope has been designed with all its optical aberrations and coatings optimized at H-Alpha. Coronado Solar Telescopes are designed with all optical aberrations and coatings optimized at the Hydrogen-Alpha wavelength. Most nighttime telescopes, when used at H-alpha, will not have the image contrast exhibited by a SolarMax series telescope nor the image quality. Most broadband coatings, used on such telescopes, will have reduced effectiveness at this wavelength and telescopes (particularly reflectors) not specifically designed for Solar viewing, will exhibit unnecessary scattering and spurious light transmission. All of the Coronado SolarMax telescopes, even the PST, have been designed with this one wavelength of light in mind and will increase contrast and give you a darker background for viewing and imaging.

Coronado PST - Personal Solar Telescope

The Coronado PST was Coronado's attempt to allow everyone to experience the Sun in Hydrogen Alpha wavelength. The value of this unique solar telescope remains unsurpassed.
