Most Helpful Positive Review Fantastic views of the Sun
The PST quickly became my favorite telescope. When mounted on a lightweight photo tripod, it's easy to check out what has changed on the Sun several times a day.

Most Helpful Negative Review Eyepiece is not good
I wiat for this product so long time, expect to get "WOW". Unfortunately, only a small red spot appear in the view of eyepiece. I didn't see the fine structure from this red spot. However, I will try another 7.5 mm / 82 wide viewing angle eyepiece in another sunny day.

Easy to use. Very good instrument. Optics Planet was extremely accommodating as I originally ordered the 0.5a version and changed my order to the 1.0a version due to affordability.
Pros: Affordable Solar Viewing Solution
Cons: None

The sun in a new light

by Legacy Reviewer, Verified Owner Written on July 25, 2007
Provide this telesope with a sturdy tripod and tripod-head, use the best ocular you can get, darken your head/face during the observation and take time and calm down.
With a little luck you will see movements and changes on the surface or the protuberances within minutes, at least within hours. That's worthwhile !

Pros: easy to use, see astonishing details on solar surface
Cons: less suitable for photography
Would recommend: Yes
