Description

Complete H-alpha solar telescope with 60mm aperture, <0.75 Angstrom bandwidth, B1200 blocking filter, and Feather Touch focuser. The large B1200 blocking filter provides smaller vignetting for imaging.

The LS60THa/B1200FT is a complete telescope for observing the Sun in H-alpha, with 60mm aperture (no central obstruction) and 500mm focal length. An internal Etalon allows provides <0.75 Angstrom bandwidth. The Etalon is installed safely inside the telescope tube, and adjustable by a mechanical tilting system.

Fine adjustment is achieved by a Starlight Instruments 2" Feather Touch focuser with 1.5" travel and 10:1 reduction.

Blocking filter is the B1200. The B1200 is good for visual solar observing, and also good for solar imaging. The star diagonal in which the blocking filter is installed, is equipped as standard for 1.25" eyepieces and with a T2 camera connection.

Features:

  • Bandwidth: <0.75 Angstrom
  • Tuning: tiltable internal Etalon
  • Blocking filter: B1200 with 1.25" and T2 connection
  • Focuser: Starlight Instruments Feather Touch focuser with 10:1 reduction
  • Tube ring with 1/4-20 tapped base (standard thread for photo tripods)

  • Solar telescope
  • B1200 blocking filter in star diagonal
  • 2" Feather Touch focuser
  • Tube ring with 1/4-20 connection for mounting on photo tripods
  • Transport case
  • Instruction manual
