DayStar SolaREDi 127mm f/21 Dedicated Hydrogen-Alpha PE Grade Solar Telescope - available in 0.3Å, 0.4Å, 0.5Å, 0.6Å, or 0.7Å Bandpass
The DayStar Filters SolaREDi 127mm H-Alpha Solar Telescope (PE Grade, OTA Only) represents a pinnacle in professional solar observation equipment.
Harnessing the cutting-edge technology of Daystar's Quantum-series filters, this telescope integrates a full-aperture solar filter with an electronic tuning system, setting a new standard for dedicated solar viewing.
Offering a choice of an H-Alpha Filter with a 0.3Å, 0.4Å, 0.5Å, 0.6Å, or 0.7Å bandpass, the PE Grade DayStar SolaREDi 127mm Telescope unveils intricate solar details with unparalleled clarity and contrast. See the bandpass breakdown below:
- 0.3Å Bandpass:
- This narrow bandpass filter will provide exceptionally high contrast views of specific solar features, such as prominences and filaments.
- It may reveal fine details within solar prominences and filaments, including intricate structures and dynamics.
- 0.4Å Bandpass:
- Similar to the 0.3Å bandpass, this filter will offer high contrast views of solar prominences and filaments.
- It will reveal detailed structures within prominences and filaments, although possibly with slightly less contrast and resolution compared to the narrower bandpass filters.
- 0.5Å Bandpass:
- This bandpass filter strikes a balance between high contrast and broader views of solar features.
- It will provide good visibility of prominences, filaments, and other surface details, offering a compromise between fine detail and overall view.
- 0.6Å Bandpass:
- With a slightly wider bandpass, this filter will offer broader views of solar features with reduced contrast compared to narrower bandpass filters.
- It may still reveal prominences, filaments, and surface details, but with less fine detail and contrast compared to narrower bandpass filters.
- 0.7Å Bandpass:
- This broader bandpass filter will provide a wide view of solar features with reduced contrast and detail compared to narrower bandpass filters.
- It may offer a good overview of prominences, filaments, and surface features, but fine details may be less visible compared to narrower bandpass filters.
Prominences emerge as delicate, fine-lined structures, offering researchers and enthusiasts an unparalleled view of solar phenomena.
Crafted to meet the exacting demands of professional research-grade users, the SolaREDi undergoes rigorous quality control measures to ensure superior performance and reliability.
Daystar's commitment to precision is evident in the enhanced homogeneity and on-band transmittance values meticulously maintained across the substrate surface.
This dedication to quality necessitates additional fabrication and testing times, reinforcing the SolaREDi's position as a premier instrument in solar observation.
The SolaREDi arrives pre-calibrated for the H-alpha wavelength at 6562.8Å, boasting an electronic tuning system with an impressive accuracy of 0.01Å.
This innovative feature enables users to offset the wavelength by up to 1.0Å in either direction, facilitating Doppler shift compensation and allowing for precise highlighting of specific solar areas.
A digital display provides real-time feedback of the tuned wavelength, enhancing operational control and accuracy.
Engineered for stability and versatility, the SolaREDi is outfitted with a robust 2" steeltrack rack-and-pinion focuser capable of accommodating heavier loads without compromising stability.
Its Vixen-style dovetail mounting ring set ensures compatibility with a diverse array of mounts available in today's market, offering users flexibility in their observation setups.
