Bringing the stars closer

Now with FREE AE solar shade (worth £19.99) and free UK p&p! The PST has been redisigned with increased contrast and image brightness.

This ‘little’ telescope is another step toward our goal of making it possible for everyone to, “Experience the Sun our way". The ever changing solar disk presents iself in the PST with tunable views of prominences and surface detail previously unavailable at even 3 times the cost.

Sub angstrom H-A systems have long been cost prohibitive for the amateur. Designs other than the Coronado are difficult to use because of temperature and F-Ratio requirements.

Not only does the PST have a bandpass of 1.0 angstrom but it is also thermally stable and requires no more time to operate than putting in a eyepiece and adjusting the focus… did we mention the price of just £429?

The PST will show you prominences, active regions, filaments, as well as other surface details – at 1.0 angstrom.

Included FREE AC500 PST sun shade - worth £19.99 The Coronado PST will perform significantly better in terms of contrast and detail if steps are taken to reduce local glare. The handsome AC599 glare shield is designed to cast a perfect shadow over the eyepiece region of the telescope and create a mini-environment for the observer to ensure that the eyes are always in a comfortable shadow when near the eyepiece
