Coronado Personal Solar Telescope (PST)
The Coronado Personal Solar Telescope (PST) is the world's most popular solar telescope with a 1.0 angstrom hydrogen-alpha (Ha) bandpass filter that reveals the dynamic, ever-changing prominences at the edge of the Sun as well as filaments and other surface details.
Features a 40mm dedicated Ha optical system, 30mm internal etalon primary blocking filter, incorporated focuser, bandpass fine adjustment controls and built-in solar viewfinder.
Mounting options include use on a regular photo tripod (scope is threaded for a standard camera 1/4-20 mounting bolt). An optional Vixen-style dovetail is available separately to make it simpler to fit into a standard Astronomy mount saddle.
Please note the Coronado PST is designed primarily for visual use. The focus position is approx 5-10mm above the eyepiece holder; some CMOS models with minimal back focus will work, and some, like the ZWO ASI120 Mini, fit easily into the eyepiece holder. Mounting a DSLR is more of a challenge as the sensor is set deep inside the camera body. Still, it is possible using a Baader Hyperion series eyepiece with an adapter.

The telescope far exceeded all my expectations. It provides bright, sharp images that allow to observe sunspots, filaments, prominences, and other solar details.
The finder is excellent. The focuser and the tuning mechanism are precise and work perfectly for visual observations.
Of all my astronomy gear, this has become my most used telescope.
