Daystar Filters Solar Scout 60 mm DS (Double Stack) Solar Telescope (SKU: SS60DS) is a dedicated H-alpha solar telescope designed for observing the Sun in hydrogen-alpha light. The 60 mm aperture system is optimized for chromosphere observation and provides a narrow “double-stack-like” bandpass for improved contrast of solar surface features. The telescope has an effective focal length of 930 mm and an integrated optical design inspired by DayStar Quark technology.
