Coronado Sol Ranger Finder

Sun observers rave about Coronado's Sol Ranger-why?  This excellent sun-finder can easily locate the Sun using any SolarMax telescope. Attach the Sol Ranger to the SolarMax telescope's clamshell mount and you are all set. A pinhole on the front of the Sol Ranger allows a harmless beam of light to be projected onto an opaque glass viewer when the sun is in the main scope's FOV. The resulting image can be viewed easily from the rear of the telescope - this ensures a rapid and accurate solar alignment process.

Julian ★★★★★

I was a bit skeptical about how easy it would be to find the sun, but the Sol Ranger's precision finder made it effortless on my first try. The bracket feels solid and attached securely to my scope without any wobble.

Elizabeth Z. ★★★★★

The sun finder's alignment bracket locks in solidly, so I don't lose the solar disk when swapping eyepieces. First try put the sun dead center in my scope's field, saving me from fumbling with a white card.

Lucy P. ★★★★☆

Setup was quick once I read the instructions, and the threaded adapter made it easy to attach to my existing scope. The shadow method for initial alignment actually works better than I expected, though I still wish the sight window were a bit larger for my older eyes.
