Celestron Heliostar 76 H-Alpha Solar Telescope/SolarQuest Mount Kit
Description
The Heliostar 76 mm H-alpha Solar Telescope brings a new light to the Sky-Watcher family by offering a dedicated Hydrogen-alpha solar telescope to the lineup. Hydrogen-alpha solar observing allows you to unlock the incredible dynamics of surface of the Sun far beyond what a white light solar filter can deliver. From massive solar prominences and dancing spicules on the limb of the Sun (often mistakenly called 'flares'), to active sunspot regions where solar flares erupt, bright plage patches, surface granulation, wispy, snake-like plasma filaments, and more, the star of the solar system is yours to capture in breathtaking views and images.
