PST Solarscope Modifications

Post by williamhawk »

The Coronado PST Solarscope is an excellent instrument for viewing H-a solar activity and lends itself to some radical modifications to increase focal length and aperture resulting in significant improvement in resolution and visual/imaging quality.
Please Help !
Thanks !
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.

Welcome on board!
You'll find many PST mods detailed in the "Solar Scope Modifications" Section....
I have a PST Mod write-up available, just drop me an email address for a copy.
