With changes on the Sun visible after only a few minutes, each day will bring fresh new views never to be repeated.
This DayStar Filters telescope is Made in USA in our vertically integrated manufacturing facility where as much of the process as possible is performed in house by DayStar employees in order to provide you with quality and service.

The helical rack and pinion focus mechanism offers smooth, precise focusing and includes a locking brake mechanism, with stainless steel reduction components for durability.
