What is the difference between the PST and SM40 series?
The most
obvious difference is in the bandwidth. The SM/MS40 is tuned at <0.7Angstrom
which is the ideal balance between prominence and surface detail. Below 0.5A
detail in prominences is less discernable and the resolution and detail in
surface detail is enhanced. At ~ <1.0A ( and the PST is ~0.9 & 0.8) the
prominences are favored over surface detail although surface detail is still
easily observable. The SM and MS 40 involve an external 40 mm etalon that is
mounted on the front objective of the telescope. It is supported by a TMAX
that can be "tilted" to optimize positioning. It can also be "tilted" off
bandwidth in order to observe Doppler shifted events. The MS40 has an
helical focuser. The etalon is tuned at<0.7A. The instrument can be used for
both visual and imaging purposes. The PST has a 20mm clear aperture internal
etalon with a 40 mm objective end aperture. It has no capacity for
"tilting". Its focusing system in internal with no moving parts. The
eyepiece is in a fixed position. The etalon is tuned at <1.0A. It is
designed for visual use. The majority of SM40 mm filters will "match" with
the PST for double stacking. A TMAX is necessary but the "tilt" function is
not applicable. |
