Description
Unlock the Solar Universe with the Coronado SolarMax III 90 Solar Scope with BF30 Refractor
The Coronado SolarMax III 90mm refractor stands as the pinnacle of the SolarMax III telescope series, offering an expansive aperture for capturing stunningly high-resolution details of our nearest star, the Sun. Whether you’re a seasoned astronomer or a curious backyard observer, this lightweight and compact telescope is your gateway to solar exploration.
Key Features:
- 90mm Air-Spaced Etalon: At the heart of the SolarMax III 90mm lies the large external front 90mm air-spaced etalon. This optical marvel allows you to peer into the most captivating part of the solar spectrum: Hydrogen-alpha light (6562.8 Angstroms). Here, the solar disk and its dynamic features come alive, from prominences spilling off the solar edge to intricate surface granulation.
- Crafted in North America:
- Designed and meticulously manufactured in North America, the SolarMax III 90mm boasts quality and precision.
- The lens blanks are proudly made in the USA by Meade.
- Exceptional Contrast: With a bandpass of less than 0.7 Angstroms (Å), the SolarMax III 90mm delivers exceptional contrast. Sunspots, filaments, active flare regions, and other solar phenomena reveal their intricate details against the backdrop of the hydrogen-alpha wavelength.
- Safety First: The 2″ 30mm blocking filter (BF30) ensures safe solar viewing. Positioned between the 1.25″ diagonal and the telescope focuser, it incorporates multiple internal filters, including the Induced Transmission Filter (ITF), Blue Glass Filter (BG38), and H-a cut-off filter. The BF30 provides a fully unvignetted image, making it ideal for both visual observation and imaging.
- Straight-Through Design: Unlike its smaller counterparts (BF10 and BF15), the BF30 is a straight-through design located in front of the diagonal. This convenient setup allows easy attachment of DSLRs and dedicated astro cameras, ensuring flexibility for your solar imaging endeavors.
- RichView Tuning Technology: Coronado’s patented RichView tuning system lets you fine-tune the solar image for optimal contrast. Adjust the distance between the parallel glass plates of the external etalon to achieve the perfect wavelength bandpass. The result? Crystal-clear solar features, even at high altitudes.
- T-Max Tuner: The included T-Max Tuner further enhances image quality by eliminating reflections and fine-tuning brightness. Together with RichView, it unlocks unparalleled solar detail.
- Complete Package: The SolarMax III 90mm comes with a Sol Ranger Solar Finder for precise solar alignment, a 2″ dual-speed rack & pinion focuser, and a set of CEMAX eyepieces (25mm, 18mm, and 12mm). The 1.25″ diagonal and 2″-1.25″ zero-length adapter ensure compatibility with various accessories.
- Hard Carry Case: Safely transport your SolarMax III 90mm in the sleek black and silver aluminum hard carry case. Its dimensions (26.5″ x 8.66″ x 8.66″) make it travel-friendly for backyard stargazers and eclipse chasers alike.
