Coronado offers two more affordable models of telescopes for the entry-level astronomy enthusiast, interested in solar observation. The 40mm Coronado Personal Solar Telescope H-alpha is a winner of the Popular Science Best of What's New Award. Looking through the lens of this solar telescope, you can see solar flares erupting, sunspots which will occur and then rotate for days, and the details of the sun's surface like a tapestry of glowing threaded pieces, woven together. The 40mm Coronado Personal Solar Telescope Calcium K version isolates a layer of gas within the sun's chromosphere, giving you views of events taking place on the sun before you can see it in the H-alpha version.
