Coronado SolarMax III 70mm H-Alpha Solar Telescope with BF10 and Case

Meade has redesigned their Coronado SolarMax telescopes.  The SolarMax III series includes an improved 2" dual speed rack and pinion focuser for smoother focus control and accurate focus adjustment for both observing and imaging.     The true stand out feature of the SolarMax III 70mm telescopes is their 60mm external H-Alpha filter for improved contrast and sharper features than the telescopes with smaller etalons.   The result is darker backgrounds and heightened detail on the Sun's surface and more prominently visible edge details like solar flares.    

The 70mm SolarMax III is an f/5.7 dedicated h-alpha solar telescope with a 60mm external etalon and enhanced RichView tuning for an increased bandpass adjustment range.  This high precision form of tuning provides velvety black backgrounds, tack sharp image resolution and increased precision in tuning when compared to previous generations.
