Coronado - SolarMax 60 Ha Filter with BF30 and TMax Tuner

The SolarMax 60 can be used to adapt most telescopes under 3000mm to H-Alpha
observing. Our mid-sized filter, SolarMax 60, provides greater resolution and
opportunities for resolving detail at higher magnification than the SolarMax
40. By matching the SolarMax 60 with the appropriate Blocking Filter (see
"FILTERS" for BF chart) and adaptor plate you can easily adapt most telescopes
to H-Alpha viewing.
All SolarMax series filters are sold in sets. The front mounted SolarMax and rear blocking filter.
Almost all telescopes will require an adaptor plate in order to attach the SolarMax,. The SolarMax
includes a T-Max de-tuning filter. Some events on the Sun,- notably active flares and coronal mass
ejections (CME), are extremely fast moving. If such features occur on the disc of the Sun, their
high velocity towards the observer results in their wavelength being Doppler shifted shorter than
Ha. If the velocity is high enough, this wave length could be outside the passband of the filter
and the feature would not be observable. The T-Max allows the user to de-tune the SolarMax
slightly to bring such phenomena into better visibility.

SolarMax 60 can also be paired with a second SolarMax 60, second T-Max and an interface adaptor.
This will reduce the bandwidth of the 60mm filter system to <0.5A and will greatly increase the
contrast of the image. This addition is priced at $2,225.00. We recommend this configuration with
the Coronado MaxScope due to the optimal design of this telescope allowing effective use of a
double filter system. However, double stacking can be done on just about any telescope under
3000mm focal length. Not all SolarMax filters will match in this configuration, it is recommended
that you send your filter to Coronado to have this work done.
