Legacy Reviewer's Review of Coronado 60mm-400mm Solar Max II 60 Solar Telescopes SM60T / 0.5SM60T / 0.5-2SM60T

This telescope is definitely a step forward from Coronado PST. The BF10 provides noticeably brighter view which allows for higher magnification with your own eyepieces. I went up to 80x easily. However I don't see a reason for x3 price, compared to PST. As the build quality is towards the low-end still. The focuser side feels flimsy, the box has small but disappointing imperfections (hinges, locks, labels are crooked). The included eyepiece is almost useless, providing weak magnification and unstable image (though it could be amusing to watch how the image changes depending on your head position). Still a good purchase as there are no alternatives anyway.
Pros: Compact, bright view
Cons: weak eyepiece, cheap plastic details, bad ballance
