A few more definitions

 

Hydrogen-alpha: The wavelength of light in the spectrum that these scopes allow you to look at. Centered at 

656.28nm.  

Bandpass: The width of light at a given wavelength that is allowed to pass. The LS60T is <0.8 Angstroms. As 

bandpass is reduced more surface detail of the Sun can be resolved. This can be accomplished thru double-

stacking.  

Angstrom: The unit of measurement for light. 1 Angstrom = 0.1nm.  

Etalon: A resonating cavity produced thru the fabrication of highly precise optical surfaces.
