Use caution when solar observing. Inspect your instrument regularly
and do not leave it unattended in a crowd.
DayStar etalons are Temperature Sensitive.
DayStar filter optics are rear-mounted.
DayStar filter optics are designed to tilt for tuning.
DayStar filter optics have operative temperature ranges.
DayStar SolaREDi telescopes have LONG focal ratios.
Fast eyepeices such as Nagler are not recommended.
Your image will be large. Use a wide eyepiece.
A robust mount is recommended.
A DayStar filter is a solid spaced, not an air-spaced etalon.
A DayStar filter does not use 'double-stacking' techniques.
DayStar products are all hand-manufactured in the USA.

- Page 1 DayStar filter optics are designed to tilt for tuning. DayStar filter optics have operative temperature ranges. DayStar SolaREDi telescopes have LONG focal ratios. Fast eyepeices such as Nagler are not recommended. Your image will be large. Use a wide eyepiece.
- Page 2 Other DayStar Products: T-Scanner H-alpha Filter: - Introduced in 1988, the T-scanner is a non-heated, tilt to tune filter which is applied at the rear of any tel- escope of any aperture operating at F/30. Requires a front mounted Energy Rejection Filter (available in sizes up to 165mm).
- Page 3 Care and cleaning: While not in use, we recommend that users store the SolaREDi alpha telescope with its end caps on, in the provided heavy duty re-sealable plastic bag with dessicant dehydrating packets; in a climate controlled environment. The SolaREDi telescope optical filter life expectan- cy is extended up to 2-3 times by climate controlled storage.
- Page 4 Solar Minimum Notice: Let us remember that the Sun has a sunspot minimum and maximum cycle of about 11 years. We are currently experiencing a period of sunspot minmum that has lasted surprisingly long. This means that the sun may not have as many exciting things going on the day that you Sunspot...
- Page 5 An optional accessory is available from DayStar (MG-0408) which can be used between the DSLR and SolaREDi to adjust the light angle and extinct the interference pattern. Fortunately, short exposures mean imagers can sort from hundreds of frames over a span of time to select from superior seeing cells which occur regularly.
- Page 6 Temperature affects the tuning of your SolaREDi alpha telescope. Your SolaREDi telescope has a minimum operative temper- ature range printed on the attached label. When the SolaREDi is cold, short- er wavelengths are allowed to pass through. When it is warmer, longer wavelengths are allowed to pass through.
- Page 7 6.0 from X-ray to beyond 2 microns. This means an EFR is often marked by pores or that it is safe to look directly into the rear of a properly assembled SolaREDi small developing sunspots. Surges or alpha telescope without an eyepiece.
- Page 8 To observe the details The SolaREDi 60mm has a limiting resolution at 6562.8 of approximately 2.8 of chromosphere on the face of arc seconds. Over-magnification of the image will have resolution limitations the sun, we need a narrower fil- in which features can not be resolved.
