Coronado ST 40/400 PST Personal Solar Telescope 0.5A OTA

The PST represents the latest breakthrough from Coronado, marking another stride towards our mission of enabling everyone to "Experience the Sun our way."

High-resolution sub-angstrom H-alpha systems have traditionally remained financially out of reach for amateur enthusiasts. Non-Coronado designs often pose challenges due to temperature and F-Ratio requirements. Enter the PST: not only does it boast an impressive bandpass of <1.0 Angstrom, but it also ensures thermal stability, requiring no more effort to operate than inserting an eyepiece and adjusting focus.

Built with the same cutting-edge technology and quality synonymous with our SolarMax series telescopes, the PST introduces unique design features that allow us to offer it at a more accessible price point than premium eyepieces. With the PST, you'll observe prominences, active regions, filaments, and other surface details with ease.

While its <1.0 Angstrom bandwidth may not unveil as much surface detail as our SolarMax series telescopes and filters, the PST certainly does not disappoint.
