Filter Packages with SolarMax, Blocking Filter, Tmax Tuner and carrying case.

        SolarMax 40

Aperture: 40mm, Wave length: 6562.8A (H alpha), Bandwidth: <0.8A
 The SolarMax 40 is sold with a T-Max tuner and a blocking filter. For MEADE ETX 60 or ETX 70 users, Coronado has designed a special blocking filter housing to work in conjunction with these telescopes. Specify Meade ETX60/70 blocking filter when ordering.

          SolarMax 60

Aperture: 60mm, 6562.8A (H alpha) wavelength, 8ABandwidth: <0.7A.
Shown here with the BF 10 (1.25" right angled diagonal blocking filter) this combination is optimized for telescopes with a focal length of 1000 mm or less.  Threaded to fit the TeleVue Pronto telescope but can be used on almost any other instrument with a suitable adaptor plate. Includes Blocking Filter and Tmax. For a Questar 3.5" telescope, the only blocking filter option is a BF15 and a specific adaptor kit is available from Questar. 12 lbs shipping.

SolarMax60-BF15-Tmax  For up to 1500mm Focal Length  SM60/15  $60 shipping $3599  $2865
SolarMax60-BF30-Tmax  For up to 3000mm Focal Length  SM60/30  $64 shipping $4499  $3590   

         SolarMax 90

 Its 90mm aperture, 6562.8A (H alpha) wavelength and <0.7A bandwidth provide very high resolution and result in unsurpassed views of the finest surface details and prominences when mounted on a good quality telescope. Threaded to fit directly to the TeleVue TV 101 & 102 & Genesis SdF telescopes, but will mount on most other telescopes using a suitable adaptor plate. This H-alpha filter is available with either the BF 10,(1000mm or less focal length) BF-15 (1500 mm or less focal length) or BF30. The BF-30, (2" straight through, shown in picture) is available for use with 2"accessories or where full disc viewing is required on telescopes with a focal length greater than 1500mm. The Blocking Filter and Tmax Doppler shift tuner is included.

T-Max Tuners  Included with filters. Order here if you do not already have one for your SolarMax filter. Some events on the Sun, notably active flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), are extremely fast moving. 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 be outside the passband of the filter and the feature would not be observable. The T-Max allows the user to de-tune the Solarmax slightly to bring such phenomena into better visibility. The T-Max fits between the Solarmax and its adaptor plate. A simple lever movement accomplishes the tilt necessary to move the passband of the filter. Because of the filter's position at the front end of the telescope, this does not compromise the performance of the filter nor limit the Ha field of view as is the case with rear mounted filters.  $18 Shipping
T-MAX 40 $145,  T-MAX 60 $245,   T-MAX 90 $345

Customer Comments:
March 1. Hi Guys I received the T-max today, and all I can say is "WOW". B. Noss, USA October 2 Message : I received my T-MAX TUNER on Monday. Of course it was raining all day. Today(Tuesday) I set up my SolarMax mounted to a Megrez 80 and the T-MAX TUNER. What a great accessory. I am now able to tune the filter for astonishing detail of prominences as they fly off the sun. To me this is a must have item.  Thank You for making H-Alpha affordable to all of us. Bill Falcone

  SolarMax Telescope 40

Aperture 40mm, Focal length 400mm (F/10), 6562.8A (H alpha) Wavelength, <0.7A Bandpass. Full assembly length: 16.75"  SolarMax 40T is reviewed in Sky & Telescope August 2002 issue. Specifically designed to optimize the performance of the SolarMax40 filter with the use of a special H-Alpha doublet lens designed by Dick Buchroeder (including optimized anti-ghosting) and superb multi-layer anti reflection coatings on all surfaces delivers diffraction limited, extremely high contrast performance. See January 2003 S&T and Hot Product listing. Both telescopes 40 and 60 can be "double stacked" by adding a second SolarMax filter and T-Max to the front. The additional filter increases your resolution by cutting the bandpass to <0.5A.
