Solar scope and imaging the sun

Recommended Posts

To get hydrogen alpha images of the sun, will those Coronado PST scopes allow a DSLR or 1.25" barelled CCD/CMOS sensor to be attached? And can one mount those scopes easily on in either a vixen style or losmandy style clamp on an equatorial mount?

Thanks

James

You may have to use a barlow to get focused with DSLR and webcam


 


The way to go is a webcam fast frame rate and plenty of them


 


You can attach to mount but you will need a vixen/los plate (not supplied with PST)


 


have a look at the Lunt 35 as well a bit more flexible
