What YOU can SEE through a $10, $500 and a $1,000 SOLAR Telescope! 🔭🌟🔥
Solar telescope comparison — what YOU can SEE through a $10, $500 and a $1,000 solar setup! 🔭🌞🔥 In this video I compare our Sun through three budget tiers: a $10 solar filter, the $500 Seestar smart telescope with solar filter, and a $1,000 Coronado PST dedicated hydrogen-alpha solar telescope. 😎
Sunspots, prominences and surface detail get better at every price point — but which one is the best value for solar imaging and white-light vs Ha viewing? 🤔 Let me know what you'd buy!
