SolarMax Telescopes

While almost all refractors and most reflecting telescopes can be used with a Coronado filter, no other telescope has been designed with all its optical aberrations and coatings optimised at H-Alpha. Most nighttime telscopes, when used at H-alpha, will not have the image contrast exhibited by a SolarMax series telescope nor the image quality. Most broadband coatings, used on such telescopes, will have reduced effectiveness at this wavelength and telescopes (particularly reflectors) not specifically designed for Solar viewing, will exhibit unnecesary scattering and spurious light transmission. All of the Coronado SolarMax telescopes, even the PST, have been designed with this one wavelength of light in mind and will increase contrast and give you a darker background for viewing and imaging.

Why buy a telescope that can only look at one object? The Sun in H-A is the most dynamic object you will ever see while pointing a telescope skywards. Constantly changing and never repeating itself, the Sun through a Coronado SolarMax telescope will hold your attention for a lifetime.
