Setting up your equipment to observe or image the Sun can be a pain, but thanks to Sky-Watcher you can be ready to go in minutes. The Sky-Watcher SolarQuest Alt-Azimuth Solar Tracking Mount has a built-in GPS that can pinpoint your location and then align itself automatically - all at the push of a single button. It will then accurately track the Sun for hours, making this the ideal choice for both solar observers and eclipse aficionados everywhere.

Coronado has a reputation among solar observers for excellence that simply can’t be beaten. The Coronado 18 mm 1.25" CEMAX H-Alpha Contrast Enhanced Eyepiece can be used with their popular Personal Solar Telescope (PST) range and provides outstanding contrast-enhanced views of the Sun at H-Alpha wavelengths.

SAFETY FIRST! There are certain precautions you must take in order to view the Sun safely:
- Never look directly at the Sun without proper eye protection as this could lead to permanent eye damage.
- Always inspect your filters and accessories and discard any that may be damaged.
- Always consult an expert to confirm if you can safely use any solar filter older than three years old.
