The VMC200L mounted on the GP2 mount allows the owner of this package to get started in high quality observing. The VMC200L is a unique catadioptric optical system. It incorporates a primary mirror and a meniscus corrector just before a secondary mirror. By doing so, light is corrected twice on the optical path. With the optical correction placed before the secondary mirror, the VMC200L avoids the necessity of having a corrector plate and all the dewing problems associated with a closed optical tube.The VMC200L on the GP2 mount is economical and versatile. The views through the VMC200L are sharper than[Read More]

The SolarMax 90 telescope is the largest H-A telescope ever to be mass-produced and is in use around the world from private observatories to professional research facilities. Noted for incredibly sharp, ‘contrasty’ H-Alpha views, and stunning detail. Even when viewing with a single eyepiece the sun appears fully animated even revealing hints of curvature, this effect is enhanced when used with bino-viewers. The SolarMax 90 telescope is compatible with most imaging systems and amateur astronomers have produced images that rival those gathered by multi million dollar systems, just see the image gallery for proof. The Blocking Filter[Read More]

The SolarMax 40 system allows for full H-A views of the sun. This Telescope includes the T-Max tuner and 5 mm blocking filter. The blocking filter is housed ina 1.25″ diagonal.

If such features occur on the disc of the Sun, their high velocity towards the observer results in their wavelength being Doppler shifted shorter than Ha. If the velocity is high enough, this wavelength could[Read More]
