The Skywatcher Heliostar 76mm Ha Solar Scope offers a 76mm aperture, providing a balance of light-gathering ability and portability. Its 630mm focal length offers a good balance of magnification and field of view for solar observing. The narrowband Hα filter isolates the specific wavelength of hydrogen-alpha light, revealing solar prominences, filaments, and flares.

The high-quality optics ensure sharp, clear images, while the durable construction is built to withstand outdoor conditions. The user-friendly design makes it easy to set up and use.

With the Skywatcher Heliostar 76mm Ha Solar Scope, you can witness solar prominences, eruptions of solar material that extend into the sun's corona; solar filaments, dark, thread-like features on the sun's surface; solar flares, intense bursts of energy that can disrupt radio communications on Earth; and sunspots, dark regions on the sun's surface that are cooler than the surrounding areas.

The telescope's specialised filters protect your eyes from the sun's harmful rays, making it a safe and educational tool for learning about solar physics and astronomy. It's also an engaging hobby for both beginners and experienced astronomers, offering excellent value for the price.
