QUESTAR QUARK* New for Fall, 2015, the QUESTAR Quark brings quick, easy fun of the Original Quark to QUESTAR owners. |

QUESTAR Quark* is available in a choice of "prominence" or "chromosphere"
• QUESTAR users need to purchase an Energy Rejection Filter specific to their telescope for safe operation. • 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 $995.00 • 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 new, compact design configuration eliminates unnecessary components, weight and associated costs. • Baffles have been added to increase contrast and AR coatings are optimized for the 656nm wavelength. We even reduced power consumption, so the Quark can now operate all day off an optional small, palm-sized battery pack. Not for use with full aperture SCTs, or damage to your secondary mirror may result. SCTs must use an off axis ERF, sold separately. *The QUARK* assembly is a product of DayStar Instruments, using DayStar Filters' Fabry Perot etalon technology. A note about QUARK* Uniformity Standards All purchases and repairs are subject to our terms of sale and / or advance replacement policy.

For use on Questar telescopes, the user needn't worry about configurations. Just insert in the diagonal, add an eyepiece and view. The QUARK contains a custom Daystar Instruments etalon and optical design specifically for the Hydrogen Alpha wavelength. Exact filter bandpass will vary based on final telescope application, so QUARK assemblies are qualified to show either prominence or surface (chromosphere). No specific FWHM bandpass is designated. 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!
