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.
Optically, this is an achromatic doublet refractor which corrects spherical and chromatic aberrations to produce accurate color rendition without distortion across the entire field of view.
Included with the optical tube assembly is the Quark Jr. solar filter system, specifically tuned for prominence viewing. Prominences, a detail of the chromosphere projected against the blackness of space behind the sun, are seen with improved contrast due to the filter’s narrower bandpass versus a wider bandpass filter tuned for conventional chromosphere surface viewing.
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
