This new, All-In-One design marries high quality components of adapters, snouts and Daystar hydrogen alpha filter into one simple assembly. Through design efficiency and optimization, now users can enjoy the known high quality optics of DayStar* at an affordable price.

Combo Quark* is available in a choice of “prominence” or “chromosphere”
~ Choose either for the same, low price of $1,295.00

CHECK YOUR TELESCOPE COMPATIBILITY USING OUR CHART HERE:

For use on SCTs, Maks, or refractors of F/15 to F/30. The user needn’t worry about configurations. Just insert Quark in your diagonal with corresponding Energy Rejection Filter, add an eyepiece and view.

Telecentric barlows compatible with the Combo Quark are sold separately.

• Exact filter bandpass will vary based on final telescope application, so QUARK assemblies are qualified to show either prominences or surface (chromosphere). No specific FWHM bandpass is designated. Either model are available for the same price of $1,295.00

• Now observers can buy a filter based on their desired observing goals instead of their budget. Choose prominences and surface (Chromosphere) detail. Both are available for the same low price! The fully optimized design eliminates the need for any adapters. It’s all combined in one lightweight eyepiece sized device.

*The QUARK* assembly is a product of DayStar Instruments, using DayStar Filters’ Fabry Perot etalon technology. Please contact sales staff at:  866-680-6563 for further details.
