The PST Telescope from Coronado is an extraordinary tool specifically engineered for viewing the Sun's surface via the narrow H-alpha hydrogen band. This cutting-edge telescope features a specialized filter that selectively permits the passage of red light emitted from hydrogen atoms. This specific feature enables astronomers to explore the chromosphere - the atmospheric layer above the photosphere. Utilizing the PST Telescope unveils complex solar features like a fascinating interplay of cells and fibers within the backdrop of the solar shield, along with noticeable protrusions at the edge of the solar disk. It also provides viewers with the opportunity to spot areas of sunspots and watch the brightly illuminated spots known as torches.
