Coronado SM60 SolarMax

It is with great regret that I have up for sale my Coronado Solarmax SM60 system. I love this piece of kit, and have used it extensively on my TV-85 for the last twelve years. It is, however, in excellent condition, and comes with the original standard adaptor plate, as well as the plate to fit to a TV-85. Primary 60mm filter and secondary wedge included.

The primary filter can be used to double-stack a Coronado h-alpha scope, or the whole system used to convert a medium aperture refractor for h-alpha viewing.

I'm not even sure what one of these is worth at the moment. I wasn't able to find any new or second hand to compare prices. I will consider any reasonable prices offered.

Regards
David Finlay

I just measured the front window on the wedge, and it is exactly 15mm. So I'm assuming that makes it the BF15??? There are no markings on the blocking filter to determine either way.

Adorama in the US have them but the price they are showing is close to what they also sell a complete double stacked 60 scope for.
Could you give us a guide figure at least as to what you want.

Hi Ken,

It looks like Adorama have them for US$1,600. I wish I'd known that before. Thanks for the heads up.

I'd consider offers around AUS$1,100 + shipping.

Regards
David

Requested images below.

I've had a question about rust on the blocking filter. There is no rust on the BF that I can see. In fact there are no visible defects on any of these items apart from a few very small scratches on the BF mounting ring, which is to be expected.

David
