SOLEYE 300 - TECHNICAL DETAILS

Reflecting Solar Telescope

- 300/1200 F/4 Newtonian reflecting solar telescope for high-resolution imaging


- OTA with portable dimensions: 1110 mm long and weighing 14.5 kg


- more than 60 bespoke design cnc machined parts


1 / Main frame

- ultralight asymmetric double octahedron carbon truss tube


- minimised sunlit surface


- self cooling geometry on main cnc parts


- Vixen plate included (can be supplemented with Losmandy adapter)


2 / Uncoated primary mirror

- 'Soleye White' 300 mm diameter fused silica uncoated primary


- very little energy to be focused on the camera side, up to 4 watts


- rejects 96% of energy


- for standard continuum observation with bandfilters up to 3 nm bandwidth


- possible resolution: 0.28 arcsec in near UV


- Strehl ratio 0.95 (excellent) or better


3 / Optional Soleye coated primary

- more light on the desired wavelength for ultra narrowband imaging without increasing the focused energy


- outstanding coating surface accuracy of +- 5 nm over the entire 300 mm mirror


- available in two versions, 'Soleye Red' for H-alpha and 'Soleye Violet' optimized for G-band and Ca-K/H spectral ranges


- Soleye Violet makes even UV photography possible


- Strehl ratio 0.95 (excellent) or better


4 / Soleye "air knife" primary cell

- cell with 6 supporting points to minimise primary deformation


- no cell parts over the mirror surface - natural laminar flow is enabled, eliminating any chance of mirror-seeing


5 / Secondary Mirror

- minor axis 78 mm, quality: L/18, 96% reflectivity


- ultra stable 6 stainless steel leg (in 3 groups)


- optional edition with gold plated legs for extra thermal reflectance


6 / Focuser

- ultraprecise Primalucelab ESATTO 2" robotic focuser 'Soleye edition'


- optional 2"-1,25" adapter


7 / Optional self cooling camera adapter and corrector

- ED coma correcting barlow with 3-6 magnification factor for all pixel sizes


- double wall construction with internal ventilation layer


8 / Optional instrument console

- for finder, SSM, guider


9 / Soleye 450 nm Shortpass ERF filter

- 450 nm Shortpass filter with 3 mm thick quartz glass


- energy rejection filter for G-band, Ca-K and UV
