DayStar Solar Scout 60mm Dedicated Solar Telescope Prominence

Study the rich details of the sun’s prominence using Daystar Filters Solar Scout 60mm f/15.5 H-alpha Achro Solar Telescope.

Optical Tube :

• 60mm aperture keeps the overall diameter narrow for easier handling
• Slow f/15.5 focal ratio
• 930mm fo15cal length produces a moderate magnification potential
• Refractor-style light path is sturdy and requires little maintenance—ideal for off-the-grid observations
• Achromatic doublet lens design corrects spherical and chromatic aberration to produce accurate color fidelity without distortion across the entire field of view
• Sturdy and precise helical focuser has no backlash and won’t rotate eyepiece/imaging rig to ensure optical alignment and orientation
• Carbon fiber optical tube reduces weight without sacrificing strength, and resists the expansion/contraction caused by temperature fluctuations that can cause internal lenses to move out of alignment, affecting image quality and focusing ability

Other Details:

• Prominence Quark
• Hydrogen-alpha bandpass
• Integrated 12mm blocking filter
• 16mm clear filter aperture
• Tuned to 0.8-0.6â„« for viewing prominence details
• Tuning knob allows for ±0.5â„« wing shift for Doppler-shift compensation
• Markers at every 0.1â„« for reference and repeatability
• LED indicators for power, warming, ready, and fault
• Integrated 4.3x Barlow lens provides critical backfocus distance while producing high magnifications from eyepieces with normally moderate power
• Two-element telecentric lens design keeps light waves parallel to flatten the field of view and reduce parallax as magnification increases
• 1.25″ nosepiece and holder is compatible with a wide range of drawtubes/focusers and visual/photographic accessories
• Can be moved to other OTAs
• Power Requirements:
• 5 VDC, 1.5A micro-USB port
• 90-240 VAC US wall outlet adapter
• Mounting
• OTA only, mount and tripod required
• Vixen-style dovetail plate is compatible with a wide variety of mounts
• 1/4″-20 mounting socket allows the use of many photo/video/field tripods

Accessories
