A double-stacked etalon means tighter bandpass and higher chromospheric contrast than single-stack solar scopes, and it's all built in. No separate Quark to source, no ERF to worry about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the OTA-only version. You'll need your own 1.25\" eyepiece and a compatible mount or tripod head.
