Product description

More about the series SolarMax II...

Coronado SolarMax II:

The SolarMax, an already excellent optic for solar observation, is now followed by the SolarMax II, the new and improved version from Coronado for very demanding solar observers. The lightweight, transportable tube shows you the sun in detail with an excellent image.

The advantages at a glance:

  • The Sol Ranger is a special solar finder with a ground glass disc. This allows you to align your telescope easily, safely and quickly.
  • Integrated blockfilter: The SolarMax II telescopes are equipped with different sized blockfilters (BF). The number in the product name after BF indicates the diameter of the filter in millimetres. A small blockfilter is sufficient for purely visual observation, a larger one should be selected for photography. This allows you to select a telescope model depending on the main application.
  • RichView tuning system: Due to the Doppler effect, the wavelengths of the interesting structures fluctuate around the H-alpha line of 656.3 nanometres. This effect is particularly noticeable between the central solar disc and the edge (prominences). The tuning system allows you to adjust the filter.
  • Double Stack: The SolarMax can also be equipped with the double filter effect. This reduces the half-width of the Filter, which increases the contrast. Pay attention to whether the product name says Double Stack. You can either buy a SolarMax II with a Double Stack filter straight away or retrofit it at a later date.

It not only matters which telescope you buy but also where you buy it. Our additional services:

  • We are a leading telescope dealer and know the devices we sell. Our customer service team will gladly help you after your purchase if you have problems with assembly or operation.
  • We provide a copy of the 80-page Telescope ABC beginners handbook with every telescope.
