Designed and built by Jeffrey Baumgardner, the solar telescope can image the sun in white light, but can also be used to build a solar image in any band of the spectrum (most commonly used in Hydrogen alpha). The telescope can also be used to display and record the solar spectrum.	This is one of our three 8-inch Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes.
