• Safe, Direct Solar Viewing – The optical tube is 100% blocked for safe, direct H-alpha prominence observation. Also includes a zero-power solar finder for quick, effortless Sun alignment.
• SolaREDi Microprocessor-Controlled Housing – Actively maintains tuning stability in all temperatures, ensuring peak prominence visibility without manual recalibration.
• Quantum Control Software Compatible – Easily integrate with Quantum Control software for precise digital tuning adjustments and real-time prominence monitoring during imaging sessions.

Is This the Right Solar Telescope for You?

• You are serious about observing solar prominences and need a dedicated H-alpha telescope that delivers high-contrast, dynamic views with precision tuning. This isn’t a general solar scope—it’s engineered for tracking fine prominence structures with angstrom-level accuracy.
• You’ve outgrown entry-level solar telescopes and need a larger aperture, built-in Quantum Control, and finer wavelength stability. If you’ve struggled with wavelength drift, inconsistent contrast, or lack of detail, this is your next-level upgrade.
• You are an astrophotographer specializing in monochrome imaging and want crisp, detailed prominence captures. The QT127mm is optimized for monochrome CCD/CMOS cameras and delivers high-contrast prominence images.
• You need a portable yet powerful solar telescope for eclipses, research, or remote observations. At just 13 lbs and 29 inches, this lightweight carbon fiber OTA makes travel easy, while the fully integrated DayStar filtration means no extra filters or complicated setup.
• You want a long-term investment in high-end solar observation that eliminates the need for frequent upgrades. This fully integrated system with research-grade optics, Quantum Control, and software compatibility ensures you won’t need another prominence telescope for years to come.

Professional-Grade Solar Prominence Observation

Solar astronomy requires precision, and the DayStar SolaREDi QT127mm Prominence Model is built to deliver the clearest prominence detail possible. With angstrom-level tuning accuracy (0.01Å), you’ll capture intricate prominence structure, dynamic movement, and fine-edge details. Unlike entry-level solar scopes, this system is fully integrated—no additional filters, etalons, or complicated setups required.

For serious prominence observers and astrophotographers, this telescope features a custom-coated 127mm doublet achromat, optimized specifically for Hydrogen Alpha (6562.8Å) imaging of solar prominences. The built-in Quantum Control system ensures stable wavelength tuning, eliminating frustrating drift caused by temperature changes. No more guesswork—just crisp, high-contrast prominence views every time.

If you’ve struggled with bulky, complex solar setups, you’ll appreciate the compact 29-inch carbon fiber design. Weighing only 13 lbs, it’s portable enough for traveling to eclipses, star parties, or remote prominence-tracking locations. The 2" steeltrack rack-and-pinion focuser provides smooth, rock-solid stability, even when using heavy monochrome CCD cameras.

Unlike many solar scopes that require external power solutions, the QT127mm runs on low-power 12VDC (1.5W max), making it compatible with portable 12VDC power sources for flexible field use. No more scrambling for AC outlets—just plug in and start tracking prominences.

For best results, DayStar does not recommend imaging with a DSLR or color CCD camera. Hydrogen Alpha imaging is best captured using a monochrome CCD or CMOS sensor, ensuring maximum contrast and resolution.

This is more than just a telescope—it’s a precision-engineered instrument built for serious solar prominence observation. If your goal is to study and capture detailed prominence structures with maximum clarity, the SolaREDi QT127mm is the ultimate tool for the job.
