DayStar Sol 80mm f/17.5 Dedicated Hydrogen-Alpha Solar Telescope - available in Chromosphere or Prominence
Simplicity meets performance in our all new no compromises 80mm Hydrogen Alpha solar telescope. This integrated solar telescope offers safety and ease of use to show prominences, solar flares, active regions, chromosphere, spicule, and many more exciting phenomena visible in red Hydrogen Alpha light. With changes on the Sun visible after only a few minutes, each day will bring fresh new views never to be repeated.
Like all DayStar Filters, this telescope is Made in USA in our vertically integrated manufacturing facility where as much of the process as possible is performed in house by DayStar employees in order to provide you with quality and service.
Thanks to our advanced CNC machining equipment we have created a small and lightweight 80mm aperture narrowband solar telescope. The integrated carry handle also functions as a solar finder.
Our telecentric optical system offers a full disk field of view visually.
The all new 12:1 dual speed focuser, manufactured by DayStar, is compatible with most third party focus motors for easy remote control while imaging. The helical rack and pinion focus mechanism offers smooth, precise focusing and includes a locking brake mechanism, with stainless steel reduction components for durability.
Includes mounting rings, dovetail, carry handle with integrated solar finder, covers, Flat Cap for imaging, AC power supply, USB power cable, 1.25" eyepiece adapter, and durable hard case.
Compatible with the entire ecosystem of DayStar Quark accessories, including 2" eyepiece adapter, imaging tilt adapters and focal reducers, battery and more.
