Getting Started in Solar Observing?
If you would like to enjoy the dynamic ever changing and surprising views that the Sun provides, it can be really affordable to adapt an existing telescope into one safe for observing the Sun. If you already own a refractor telescope, give our Quark a look. Otherwise, a dedicated telescope might be right for you.
We offer a wide variety of accessories to make the experience easier and more enjoyable.
