Simplicity meets performance in our all new no compromises 100mm Hydrogen Alpha solar telescope. This integrated solar telescope offers safety and ease of use to show prominences, solar flares, active regions, chromosphere, spicule, and many more exciting phenomena visible in red Hydrogen Alpha light. With changes on the Sun visible after only a few minutes, each day will bring fresh new views never to be repeated.

Price: $4995
Accepting Orders Now, with shipping mid-November 2025.

Available in choice of wider >0.5Å bandpass for bold Prominences or narrow <0.5Å   bandpass for highest surface Chromosphere contrast (like a doublestack) at the SAME PRICE! 

DayStar Filters telescopes are all Made in USA in our vertically integrated manufacturing facility.  We performed as much of the process as possible is in house by DayStar employees in order to provide you with quality and service. 

Thanks to our Clean Sheet Design, Engineering and advanced CNC machining equipment we have created the smallest and lightest 100mm aperture narrowband solar telescope ever made. With rings, it weighs only 8 pounds (3.6kg) and at about 19 inches long fits into an airline carry-on bag. The integrated carry handle is also a solar finder.

The Daystar Truly Telecentric optical system offers a full disk field of view visually and with APS-C or larger camera sensors, while 1" sensors can use our 0.6x focal reducer and 1/2" sensors can use our 0.33x reducer to accomplish full disk imaging.

The all new 12:1 dual speed focuser, manufactured by DayStar, is compatible with most third party focus motors for easy remote control while imaging. The helical rack and pinion focus mechanism offers smooth, precise focusing and includes a locking brake mechanism, with stainless steel reduction components for durability.

Includes mounting rings, dovetail, carry handle with integrated solar finder, covers, Flat Cap for imaging, AC power supply, USB power cable, 1.25" eyepiece adapter, and durable hard case.

Compatible with all DayStar Quark accessories, including 2" eyepiece adapter, imaging tilt adapters and focal reducers, battery and more.

The Sol telescope series is also available in 60mm, 80mm, and 130mm apertures in order to fit all observing goals and budgets.
