The Coronado by Meade SolarMax II 60mm Solar Telescope with RichView system includes 5mm Blocking Filter, 60mm diameter Solar Telescope with sub 0.7 angstrom bandwidth filtering for observation of surface detail and prominences on the Sun in hydrogen-alpha (Ha) light.

The Coronado SolarMax II 60 is designed to do much more than merely show you sunspots, as an ordinary white light solar filter can. The SolarMax II 60 will reveal in gorgeous detail the ever-changing tapestry of prominences leaping off the edges of the solar disk, explosive upheavals of flares on the face of the Sun, and the subtle mottling of granulation across the face of this nearest of stars.

The 5mm clear aperture of the blocking filter portion of H-alpha system built into the SolarMax II 60 star diagonal is designed to provide full disk single eyepiece views of the Sun primarily for visual use. The 10mm blocking filter versions of this scope is better suited for binoviewer use and for imagers who need a wider illuminated field for use with cameras needing a long back focus.

The new Meade Coronado SolarMax II represents a breakthrough in solar observing with the new and revolutionary RichView tuning assembly. This patented system 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, flares, filaments, and other surface detail, or quickly and easily re-tune for prominences on the solar limb. The stunning bright red views through a Coronado Ha telescope display astounding surface and limb detail especially when the Sun is in an active phase.

This very high quality 60mm Solar Telescope acts as a personal solar observatory featuring a 400mm focal length and f/6.6 focal ratio with a 5mm blocking filter with sub 0.7 angstrom bandwidth filtering. Includes mounting rings, Cemax 25mm eyepiece, Sol Ranger solar finder and carry case. Weight is 6 pounds. Tripod and mount required. (sold separately)
