Hydrogen alpha observing allows you to see more of the sun than sunspots. Prominences, solar flares and much more. The hydrogen alpha telescopes and filters block out all the wavelengths of light except the one emitted by the alpha emission line from the hydrogen spectrum. In addition to the etalon (part that filters wavelength), there is also a blocking filter to block dangerous ultraviolet and infrared light.This book deals mostly with the Coronado PST (Personal Solar Telescope). However it also discusses other larger aperture Coronado solar telescopes plus filters that can be used with a regular "nighttime" telescope. There is a wealth of information about solar viewing and many nice photos. A few other brands of solar telescope and filters are also discussed. There is a lot of information about ways of observing the sun, how the sun "works", what you are seeing. The book also has a chapter on imaging the sun.The book was published before Lunt Solar Systems was founded so there is no information on their solar equipment.Recommended as a good reference for solar observing and imaging. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Great book if you NOTHING about solar viewing and solar scopes *by D***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 15, 2016* Umm, where do I start. If you know absolutely nothing about Coronado scopes and solar imaging, this IS the book for you. It sums up everything over and over and over again in about 300 pages! Very repetitive!This is great if you're thinking of buying PST and know NOTHING about it. It's also great if you are thinking of buying the Coronado Solarmax 90mm. I say this because all he mostly focuses on in the book are the PST's and 90mm.I purchased the Solarmax II 60mm. I was hoping to get some great information on it that I didn't already know about. All it had was three pages of information: pages 259-261. If you don't believe me, click on the book image where it says, "look inside" and look through the table of contents. So I spent $30 plus shipping on 3 pages of information that I already knew about. That's $10 a page plus shipping! He also rates the PST which only has a 40mm aperture as "very good" and the 60mm as only "good". Don't get me wrong, I've seen the images of the PST and yes I agree that they're very good but a 60mm should be better. I guess he's referring to the price?Pros:1. the pages of book are great quality, thick, glossy pages2. There are many colorful, large-sized images of the sun throughout the entire book. The book is loaded with pictures of accessories, and all the types of Coronado (NOT Lunt) scopes.3. There are comparison images of the sun between scopes of different apertures, blocking filters and bandpasses4. There is a glossary at the back of the book if you're unfamiliar with the terminologies of accessories and the sun5. Nice concise easy to understand explanations on background information of the sun6. Easy to read font7. The author writes this book using a casual tone, therefore easy to follow.What can I say? Three stars! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential Reference for Coronado Solar Telescopes *by C***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 12, 2013* I recently acquired a used Coronado Personal Solar Telescope. The pamphlet that came with it was not much help in getting started with the telescope, so I looked for some online reference, found this book and purchased the Kindle edition. The book was immediately helpful in successfully beginning to get real use and enjoyment from the PST, including knowing what options not to buy, for example that the 12mm Cemax eyepiece is the only one of the three Cemax eyepieces that is truly useful with the PST. Other eyepieces and options are also well covered.The book would in fact be great to buy before making a purchase, as it discusses the entire line of Coronado products and what to expect from them, as well as covering a number of other manufacturers offerings. Given the time the book was issued, however, Lunt Solar Systems had not come into existence so there is no comparative information for that line of products. That noted, whether you are looking to purchase new or via the used market, this book can help you make the choice from among the Coronado line that will best suit your purposes for getting into solar observing or imaging.Besides the primary author, several collaborators have contributed sections to the book for equipment they were experienced with and techniques in which they are expert, so the information provided does provide several points of view and a sense of more depth than a single author might have provided, even with consultation. All sections are well-written, with all explanations even of the most technical aspects in clear and understandable language. How to successfully observe and image with this line of telescopes, including the PST which is marketed as being only for visual observing, is covered well for the interested amateur astronomer.The only quibble I have is with the Kindle edition itself, in that while many of the Kindle books I've gotten were converted in full color, this one was not, and from the samples provided for the print edition this has a lot of great color imagery. That may make it worthwhile to get both the print and the Kindle editions.In any case, highly recommended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/2016915-observing-the-sun-with-coronado-telescopes-the-patrick-moore-practical](https://www.desertcart.in/products/2016915-observing-the-sun-with-coronado-telescopes-the-patrick-moore-practical) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
