    T-Max 40 - Doppler Tuning Unit

    B&H# CODTUSM40 | Mfr# TMAX 40

    The T-Max 40 from Coronado is used to de-tune a SolarMax filter towards the blue end of the H-Alpha line. This is accomplished by changing the angle at which the light passes though the etalon. The wavelengths produced by high-velocity events such as active flares and coronal mass ejections (CME) can Doppler-shift and become invisible to an H-Alpha tuned system. The T-Max unit allows the user to adjust the system slightly to make these phenomena more visible. This T-Max unit is designed to be used with Coronado's 40 mm SolarMax filter.

    The T-Max is designed to be placed directly behind the SolarMax filter. It is comprised of two black plates, set screws, and a knurled knob. When the knob is adjusted, the two plates separate. One plate remains parallel to the telescope's objective cell while the other creates an angle between the etalon and the objective cell. The resulting angle is <0.7° - a greater angle would place the filter completely off-band. The T-Max unit is designed to deliver the optimal view within its range of adjustment.

    BF-10 Blocking Filter

    B&H# COBF10 | Mfr# BF10

    The BF-10 Blocking Filter from Coronado is the secondary interference filter in a Coronado H-Alpha solar viewing system. Blocking filters are not stand-alone devices; they must be used in conjunction with a SolarMax filter. In a solar viewing system, the blocking filter is just as crucial to the viewer's safety and the system's performance as the front element. This 10 mm blocking filter, the BF-10, is compatible with telescopes that have a focal length that is equal to or less than 1000 mm.

    Note! SolarMax filters are sold in kits that include a blocking filter. This blocking filter offered here is intended for viewers who have two different focal length telescopes that they intend to use with their SolarMax system.

    • Must be used with a SolarMax filter

    • For telescopes with a focal length equal to or less than 1000 mm
