The Acuter Elite H-Alpha Phoenix 40 Solar Telescope is a specialized solar instrument designed for high-resolution hydrogen-alpha (H-α) solar observation, allowing users to witness the dynamic and ever-changing surface of the Sun. With a 40mm aperture, this telescope provides detailed views of solar prominences, filaments, spicules, and active regions that are invisible in standard white-light solar scopes.
Designed for portability and ease of use, the H-Alpha Elite Phoenix 40 is lightweight and compact, making it ideal for both home use and field observations. Its integrated H-alpha etalon filter isolates the 656.3 nm wavelength, revealing intricate solar features with exceptional contrast and clarity.
It comes equipped with a precision-tuned filter system, allowing users to optimize contrast and detail by adjusting the etalon. The telescope is compatible with various mounting options, ensuring stability and ease of tracking when used with a sturdy tripod or an equatorial mount. Its dedicated high-quality eyepiece enhances viewing clarity, while the option to integrate cameras makes it a great tool for solar astrophotography.
