The Coronado P.S.T. Ca-K is a truly remarkable telescope linking two of Coronado's most recent technological breakthroughs. By combining the optical design of the price friendly P.S.T. with the Calcium K line filters of our SolarMax 70 Ca-K we are again making solar discovery a real and attainable aspect of Astronomy. The unique Ca-K filter isolates a layer of the Sun that is below and slightly cooler than the layer viewed with a Coronado Hydrogen Alpha filter. The transmission line is centered at 393.4 nanometers and is isolated using thermally stable interference filters. Given that this telescope has a much smaller aperture than its bigger brother, the SolarMax 70 Ca-K, you can anticipate a drop in resolution but not in contrast, safety, or quality. The magnificent super granulation cells that gather and strengthen in this layer of the Chromosphere may not be visible to all as most humans eyes, through the process of aging, are not particularly sensitive to this wavelength. The primary purpose of any CaK instrument is for imaging.

Classical Cassegrain and Dall-Kirkham Cassegrain Telescopes
Parallax also offers Classical Cassegrain and Dall-Kirkham Cassegrain telescopes in 10", 12.5", 14.5", and 16" apertures. The Classical Cassegrain offers a very long focal length in a relatively compact tube. They are excellent instruments for high magnification planetary and double star work. The Dall-Kirkham Cassegrain with its F/20 focal ratio and smaller central obstruction is perhaps the ultimate high magnification visual planetary telescope.

The 8" PI200 and 10" PI250 instruments are first in our series of larger aperture instruments. Relatively light in weight and easy to handle, first class construction techniques, components of the highest quality, and the very best optics available combine to produce telescopes fully capable of remarkable performance. Constructed entirely of aluminum with stainless steel hardware, every attention to detail has been given to these fine instruments. Push-pull type primary and secondary mirror cells afford easy yet positive locking collimation adjustments. The optical tube is fitted with lathe turned, knife edge annular baffles. The result is a tube so dark, the primary mirror appears to be floating in space. To our knowledge, no other manufacturer of Newtonians incorporates this painstaking technique to extract the ultimate in image contrast. The light weight, high precision optics assure quick temperature equalization and will provide incredible detail on planetary subjects. The striking high gloss finish of the tubes combine with the "feel" of these telescopes will surely provide their owners with many years of satisfaction. Our Series 125 equatorial mount is designed to carry both models. See Specifications.
These telescopes are not "run of the mill" mass produced instruments.

This Sky-Watcher 150mm (6") f/5 telescope is a two-element, air-spaced, fully multi-coated objective, achromatic refractor, which can give exciting "rich field" astronomical views. It can provide excellent vistas of star fields, clusters, nebulae, galaxies, planets, the Moon and (with correct filtering or by projection) the Sun. It is also a fine terrestrial telescope when mounted on an alt-azimuth mount or a photographic tripod. Crisp images at a reasonable price make it an excellent beginner's "first telescope", or a great travelling telescope for a more advanced observer. Similar to the popular 80mm f/5 refractor, this larger aperture model has more light collecting power at the same focal ratio and accepts 2" diagonals for awesome wide field views, while only a small amount to chromatic aberration and weight. Weighing about 3kg. (6.5lbs.) the optical tube assembly is readily carried and with a compressed length of approximately 50cm (21.7") it is easily transported.
Being a refractor, it is quick and easy to set up and the low- maintenance, enclosed optics come fully collimated from the factory. The optical tube assembly comes with "tube-mounting rings". These hinge open to allow easy installation of the optical tube and the locks can be loosened during use to allow tube rotation and balancing. Mounting the telescope on an alt-azimuth or an equatorial mount is quick and simple with the appropriate mounting plate.
This telescope also performs well as a fixed aperture, 510mm lens for both terrestrial and astro photography. The "fast" f/5 focal ratio, combined with today's high speed films, is excellent for capturing lunar and solar eclipses as well as for nature photographs. A solid, equatorial mount and a method of guiding is required for longer exposure astrophotography. A T-mount thread on the eyepiece holder allows direct attachment of an appropriate T-adapter (readily available through camera shops for a specific SLR) and the optional 60mm (2.5") extension tube gives closer focussing for terrestrial photography.

The BKP25012EQ6 is the largest reflector in the Sky-Watcher Newtonian family. It is equipped with the EQ6 mount, a paraboloidal mirror made from Pyrex glass, diffraction-limited secondary mirror support, 2" focuser, one 2" eyepiece, a 2"-1.25" eyepiece adapter, and a 9x50 finderscope.
