Coronado SolarMax II 40mm Double Stacking Etalon with RichView Tuning System

Coronado SolarMax II 40mm Double Stacking Etalon with RichView tuning system is a 40mm diameter primary H-alpha etalon filter. This add-on filter reduces the normal bandwidth of a SolarMax 40 telescope or filter set from the single stack 0.7 angstrom performance to a more restrictive 0.5 angstrom, increasing visibility of surface detail and active regions on the Solar disc. It MUST be combined with a primary SolarMax 40 filter and a blocking filter, to complete Coronado SolarMax 40 telescope, or a PST telescope.

The included patented RichView tuning assembly allows direct tuning of the primary filter etalon. No other commercially available Ha telescope can provide the tuning range and accuracy of the SolarMax II. Now you can tune for the highest contrast views of active regions, filaments and surface detail, or quickly and easily re-tune for prominences on the solar limb.

NOTE: this filter cannot be used as a stand alone solar filter. Immediate and irreversible eye damage may result.
