New user review

Having only had a short clear sky window to try the scope out, I can only give an initial impression. I loved the image produced, but it took way to long to setup and locate the sun. You definitely need a solar finder scope, and I recommend an umbrella or observing shield blanket to work under. I am not sure how to set the pressure tuner, but was able to focus in for awesome views of prominences and flairs. I suspect as I learn to setup faster and in time I would be able to raise my rating, but had so much trouble the one time that I am not fully happy.

Super H-alpha Telescope

They really made this one right. Now you can shoot the Sun in HAlpha and use the scope at night. The ED optics in the scope are super sharp and provide really pure views of the moon and planets.
