JOIN THE SOLAR PHOTOGRAPHY REVOLUTION
Introducing the SOLEYE 300 Dualband professional solar telescope
Explore the Sun like never before, enabled by our innovative telescope design.
The SOLEYE 300 is engineered for the dedicated solar photographer. It provides an unprecedented opportunity for creating stunning photos of the Sun, the celestial body that powers our planet.
The SOLEYE 300 confidently tackles the unique challenges of solar photography
Robust & straightforward design, making it uncomplicated to use while also getting excellent results. Lightweight, easy to carry and set up. Innovative features to avoid heat damage and deformation.
High-resolution
solar photography
even in Ca-K and H-alpha
Thanks to a completely unique, world-first SOLEYE coating with high surface accuracy, the primary mirror has extremely low heat absorption and zero thermal expansion, making it the optically best performing primary in the medium size category in continuum, Ca-K and H-alpha high-resolution solar photography as well.
The SOLEYE 300 is a hand-built, medium-sized, highly precise solar telescope with exceptional quality special coated energy rejecting primary mirror.
The components are sourced from 3 different continents. This makes it a unique product with a reasonably long manufacturing process, making it a truly exclusive piece of hardware with very limited accessibility.
The New Standard of Clarity, Proven
An instrument is ultimately defined by the images it can produce. Below is a selection of images captured with the SOLEYE 300, showcasing the uncompromised clarity and breathtaking detail that is possible.
SOLEYE 300 Technical Specifications
Reflecting Solar Telescope
300/1200 F/4 Newtonian reflecting solar telescope for high-resolution Chromosphere and Photosphere imaging
OTA with portable dimensions: 1110 mm long and weighing 14.5 kg
More than 60 bespoke design CNC machined parts, high strength carbon elements
CryoSol Passive space-tech Thermal Control System installed on OTA
Main frame
Ultralight asymmetric double octahedron carbon truss tube
Zero thermal expansion allows stable focus for hours in changing temperature
Minimised sunlit surface and self cooling geometry on main CNC parts
Vixen plate included (can be supplemented with Losmandy adapter)
Dielectric Dual-Band Primary ERM Mirror
Unique high quality dielectric coated ERM “energy rejection” mirror technology
Very little energy to be focused on the camera side
Rejects almost all incoming energy except in H-alpha and Calcium range
Designed for Chromosphere observation in H-alpha and Ca-K/H and for continuum (whitelight) observation in red, blue and NUV. It provides enough light for your etalons.
Market leader 0,46” resolution possible in H-alpha
World leader 0,24”/0,28” resolution possible in NUV – only with SOLEYE technology.
Strehl ratio 0.95 (excellent) or better
Outstanding coating surface accuracy of +- 5 nm over the entire 300 mm mirror
Available in two versions:
1. ‘SOLEYE Dualband’ for H-alpha, Ca-K/H and for red/blue continuum.
2. ‘SOLEYE Violet’ for pioneers optimized for G-band and Ca-K/H and UV spectral ranges, making even UV solar high resolution photography possible.
“Air Knife” Primary Cell
Cell with 6 No. supporting points to minimise primary deformation
No cell parts over the mirror surface – natural laminar flow is enabled, eliminating any chance of mirror-seeing
Secondary Mirror
Minor axis 78 mm, quality: L/18, 96% reflectivity
Ultra stable 6 No. stainless steel legs (in 3 groups)
Optional edition with gold plated legs for extra thermal reflectance
Internal ERF Filter
Dualband ERF Filter for H-alpha and Ca-K/Ca-H
20/25 nm halfband width
Focuser
Ultraprecise silver design Primalucelab ESATTO 2″ robotic focuser ‘SOLEYE edition’
Robust and smart: it can support your telecentric barlow and double stack H-alpha etalon system
Optional self cooling camera adapter and corrector
Self cooling camera adapter and coma correcting barlow lens for whitelight imaging with 3-6 magnification factor for all pixel sizes
Quark adapter kit to install your quark in the fastest way
Adapter and correction lens kit compatible with Baader telecentric systems
Optional instrument console
For Finder, SSM and Guider
