Coronado Personal Solar Telescope (P.S.T.)

   The PST is the latest innovation from Coronado. This ‘little’ telescope is another step toward our goal of making it possible for everyone to, “Experience the Sun our way.”

   Sub angstrom H-A systems have long been cost prohibitive for the amateur. Designs other than the Coronado are difficult to use because of temperature and F-Ratio requirements. Not only does the PST have a bandpass of <1.0 angstrom but it is also thermally stable and requires no more time to operate than putting in a eyepiece and adjusting the focus… did we mention the price of just $499.00?

   The PST represents the same technology and quality that goes into a SolarMax series telescope but with a few unique design characteristics that allow us to offer it for less than some premium eyepieces. The PST will show you prominences, active regions, filaments, as well as other surface details – at <1.0 angstrom it will not reveal as much surface detail as the SolarMax series telescope and filters but it certainly doesn’t disappoint.

   “To be honest I was not expecting too much, bearing in mind the cost and diminutive nature of the ‘scope, I finally set up in the late afternoon. Alignment of the ‘scope is a breeze using the inbuilt sun finder, as I looked through the eyepiece I could see a red sun with a small sunspot but no prominences or H-A detail and then decided to try the ‘tuner’, as I rotated the ring the view changed, prominences popped into view! With a little further “tweaking” filaments, faculae, and “orange peel” surface came into view in incredible detail! Absolutely brilliant…” – Mr. N. Longshaw, U.K.

   The PST is made from milled aluminium, not plastic! At $499.00 the PST comes with a built in Sol Ranger for easy alignment, a 12mm Kellner eyepiece, and a re-usable box with dye cut foam for safe storage. Optional accessories include a hard travel case, MALTA tabletop mount, CEMAX series eyepieces, and SolarMax 40 for double stacking and narrowing the bandpass. To add a SolarMax 40 you will require the T-Max 40 for attaching the unit directly to the PST.

   “I purchased a PST a couple of months ago. After reading some comments on adding the SolarMax 40 I purchased one and attached it to the PST. There is only one word to describe the view. WOW - Keep up the good work!!!” – Mr. Rankin, Florida.

Solarscope

   Solarscope makes it easy for individuals or groups to view images of the sun in complete safety. Sunlight is projected onto the wall of a self-contained shadow box, revealing details that cannot be safely viewed with the naked eye. Solarscope is great for studying sunspots, solar eclipses and the transits of Venus and Mercury. There's even a comprehensive user's guide with instructions on tracking the Earth's ever-changing position with regard to the Sun. Designed for use by one or two people.
