FEATURES:
- Carbon tube for light weight. No need for an expensive astronomical mount.
- Helical focuser: focusing is done by turning a specific ring. Thus, the camera or eyepiece moves with the focus and heavier accessories do not slip.
- Integrated viewfinder: a real help to find the Sun safely.
The Solar Scout solar telescope is equipped with the QUARK H-alpha solar filter. Its most important feature is that you can magnify this filter to get a different image.
Thanks to the heating system, the exact distance on the standard Quark filter is determined by the thermal expansion. You can change the band by +/- 0.5 Angstrom. The included USB cable provides the necessary voltage.
Daystar offers two versions of the H-alpha QUARK module whose filter has been optimized for a special purpose:
- the bulge model for observing the phenomenon at the edge of the Sun
- the chromosphere model for solar disk phenomena
Both versions have the same price. It is only an optimization: half of the bulge variant is a bit higher. Due to the higher light transmission, even the finest prominences of the Sun's rim are visible. The chromosphere variant has a narrower band and thus forms structures in the solar disk in the high spectrum.
Of course, prominences can be seen with the chromosphere model and vice versa.
Corresponding to the two versions of the QUARK filter there are versions for prominences and chromosphere for each version of the DayStar H-alpha solar telescopes.
