Meade Coronado Personal Solar Telescope (PST)

Study of the solar disk is now within the reach of the amateur astronomer. The PST represents the same technology and quality that goes into a SolarMax series telescope available to the new solar astronomer at the cost of some single premium eyepieces. 

The Personal Solar Telescope (PST) is a Coronado innovation. The world's most popular telescope to observe the Sun, the PST, will show you the dynamic, ever-changing prominences at the edge of the Sun as well as filaments and other surface details in amazing detail, all in the brilliant and distinctive red color of hydrogen-alpha light. This 40mm diameter, highly-portable, dedicated solar telescope, features completely internal, non-removable and student-safe solar filtering optics with a 1.0 angstrom hydrogen-alpha (Ha) bandpass for great surface detail.
