Easily the best Hydrogen-alpha dedicated solar scope I've seen and for the price, you get some amazing add-ons and a great overall scope!
Sky-Watcher Heliostar
It's now been officially pre-released! Sky-Watcher is doing a 76mm Ha solar scope that looks amazing! I had the privilege of being part of a behind-the-scenes pre-release conversation and I can say quite simply, I will be buying one of these.
You can pre-order yours from Highpoint Scientific if you can wait until (likely) March of 2025 for its arrival. Fear not though, each scope is specifically tested on the Sun to make sure it passes ISO 12312-2 safety standards before it's shipped to you.
I'll write more when I can but for now, you can read about it on the Sky-Watcher USA site.
