Coronado Instruments PST & Case
(Personal Solar Telescope)
|
 |
 |
|
 |
| donated by the
York County Astronomical Society |
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.
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. |
