Customer Review: personal solar telescope
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm just learning now how to use this. Package arrived in 2 days. I had to put it on my own tripod; it doesn't come with a mount. I also used my own higher magnification eyepieces from my other telescopes; it only comes with one 20mm eyepiece. The sun's disk is red, and the markings on the sun appear 3D. I saw 2 very nice looking, although small, prominences from the limb. There also appeared to be a filament. I also saw some sunspot groups. I'll probably get some of the accessory eyepieces from Coronado to improve the image, maybe bring out some more detail.
UPDATE
After a month, the scope is still working well. I saw a huge bright arc flare one day, and then later read about major solar activity disrupting communications in China. Today I saw a large detached prominence, and could compare it to what I saw on the SOHO site.
ANOTHER UPDATE
I don't know what happened, but my eyes don't feel too great anymore. I've stopped using this. I think it could be safer. (!)
