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 0.8-0.6Å for viewing prominence details
- Tuning knob allows for ±0.5Å wing shift for Doppler-shift compensation
- Markers at every 0.1Å 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
