Daystar

H-alpha apochromatic doublet

1.33 kg



The DayStar Solar Scout 60-C Chromosphere is a high quality achromatic doublet refractor with carbon fibre tube and is specifically designed for the Hydrogen-alpha wavelength. It contains a removable Quark Chromosphere filter which offers performance comparable to doublestacked solar telescopes with similar aperture from other manufacturers, but at a far lower cost.

 

The full version of the Quark Chromosphere is included and can be removed and used with other telescopes with the appropriate energy rejection filter.

Unlike most 'entry-level' solar telescopes which have a bandpass of around 0.7Å, the Solar Scout 60DS has an approximate bandpass of 0.5Å, resulting in greater detail of surface structures and filaments. The Solar Scout features a 12mm blocking filter with 16mm of clear etalon aperture, significantly more than competing offerings.


Features


  • 930mm Effective Focal Length
  • Quality Achromat Doublet 60mm refractor with carbon fibre tube
  • Interchangeable Quark Chromosphere H-alpha filter
  • 'Doublestack' performance at no extra cost
  • Robust and precision accuracy: Helical Front-Focus can't slip and does not turn the eyepiece.
  • Solar Bullet finder projects safely onto white screen.
  • 16mm eyepiece aperture.
  • Adaptable for 2" or Camera mount / views
  • Always on-band with USB power, 5v 1.5amp
  • Tuning knob allows wing shifting +/- 0.5Å
  • LED indicator for power, warming, ready, fault
  • Vixen /Photo style mounting foot
  • 3 year warranty

* Application of 2" eyepieces or components, and Camera T-adapters require additional, optional accessories. Diagonal recommended to achieve focus.
