This conjoinment makes the assemblage of components on the rear of the telescope tighter and more compact with no wobble from adding components into a drawtube.

That makes it possible to get hopelessly lost when trying to focus a regular focuser with a Quark mounted. Our Sol 100 focuser offers the full focus range between Visual with a 2″ diagonal and an eyepiece – all the way down to a camera mounted directly on the Quark housing. But not so much as to get lost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe built-in solar finder\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eembedded in the rings means never having to mount or align an aftermarket solar finder. The solar finder dot is always collimated with the scope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimplicity meets performance in our all new no compromises 100mm Hydrogen Alpha solar telescope. This integrated solar telescope offers safety and ease of use to show prominences, solar flares, active regions, chromosphere, spicule, and many more exciting phenomena visible in red Hydrogen Alpha light. With changes on the Sun visible after only a few minutes, each day will bring fresh new views never to be repeated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all DayStar Filters, this telescope is Made in USA in our vertically integrated manufacturing facility where as much of the process as possible is performed in house by DayStar employees in order to provide you with quality and service. Even our filters manufactured over 50 years ago are still serviceable and regularly upgraded, repaired, and maintained by our experienced staff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to our advanced CNC machining equipment we have created the smallest and lightest 100mm aperture narrowband solar telescope ever made. It weighs only 8 pounds (3.6kg) and at about 19 inches long fits into an airline carry-on bag. The integrated carry handle also functions as a solar finder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur telecentric optical system offers a full disk field of view visually and with APS-C or larger camera sensors, while 1″ sensors can use our 0.6x focal reducer and 1\/2″ sensors can use our 0.33x reducer to accomplish full disk imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe all new 12:1 dual speed focuser, manufactured by DayStar, is compatible with most third party focus motors for easy remote control while imaging. The helical rack and pinion focus mechanism offers smooth, precise focusing and includes a locking brake mechanism, with stainless steel reduction components for durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes mounting rings, dovetail, carry handle with integrated solar finder, covers, Flat Cap for imaging, AC power supply, USB power cable, 1.25″ eyepiece
