Description


 The DayStar Solar Scout 60DS and SkyWatcher SolarQuest bundle is the perfect introduction to solar astronomy! The Solar Scout is a high quality achromatic doublet refractor specifically designed for the Hydrogen-alpha wavelength. It contains a Quark Chromosphere filter which offers performance comparable to doublestacked solar telescopes with similar aperture from other manufacturers, but at a far lower cost.

 

The SkyWatcher SolarQuest solar tracking mount is lightweight and ridiculously easy to use. No need to worry about aligning your equipment the night before or early in the morning. Using its patented HelioFind solar finder and built-in GPS, SolarQuest autolevels and calculates the azimuth and altitude of the sun, all with the single push of a button. Once self-aligned, the mount locates and tracks the sun for hours at a time.

Unlike most 'entry-level' solar telescopes which have a bandpass of around 0.7Å, the Solar Scout 60DS has an approximate bandpass of 0.5Å, resulting in greater detail of surface structures and filaments. The Solar Scout features a 12mm blocking filter with 16mm of clear etalon aperture, significantly more than competing offerings.

Note: The tripod shown in the photos is not included in the bundle. 

Warning: The SolarQuest mount is designed to work with dedicated solar telescopes ONLY. Do not point other types of optical device at the sun; looking directly at the sun without a certified filter will cause immediate and irreversible damage to the eyes or instrument.
