Description

Meade Coronado P.S.T. Solar Telescope
The Personal Solar Telescope (P.S.T.) is a Coronado innovation. The world's most popular telescope to observe the Sun. 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. 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.
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.
Features a 40mm diameter dedicated Ha optical system with 30mm internal etalon primary blocking filter and incorporated focuser and bandpass fine adjustment controls and built in solar viewfinder. 400mm focal length, f/10 focal ratio, with a 12mm eyepiece. S/N 97522.
The telescope and accessories are in excellent condition with no sign of wear.
We are not qualified to test the instrument. A flashlight pointed into the lens did show light in the view window on top of the main body. The instruction book is included.
Accessories included:
Meade PCB electronic view finder – software is NOT included
Hard protective carry case
Tabletop tripod
Size - in the optional protective case: 18.5 W x 9 D x 6.5 H
