Thank you for your purchase of a SolarSpectrum H-alpha-filter with matching telecentric
system. The various SolarSpectrum-filter only differ in the filter size and their control unit,
so we describe them altogether in this manual.
This manual also describes the various telecentric systems which are used to match the
filter to different telescopes
For best results, we recommend that you spend a few minutes reading this manual befo-
re using the filters and telecentric systems.

Page 8: Choosing An Energy Rejection Filter
Tip: Our TriBand telescopes are based on Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes with aper- tures of 8", 9¼" and 11". These telescopes do not need an additional energy protec- tion filter, it is already integrated in the coating of the Schmidt plate.

Sometimes they only appear when observing with (or without) a reducer. There are two ways to eliminate them: Newtonian ringe are caused by interferences in a monochrome camera (here: ZWO ASI120MM).

Software such as Sharpcap offers the option of "feature tracking" to also track sunspots. • Take flats to compensate for dirt on the sensor or on the telescope. © 2023 Baader Planetarium GmbH...
