Thanks John.
As Ken has said, no commercial SHG's atm.
Mine is the version designed by Christian Buil and is called a SolEx.
I 3d printed all the bits & purchased the optics kit from Shelyak in France.
Its a clever design that is really optimized for Ha use, but can work well all the way into the UV.
Christian has made use of the 125/80 ratio in the collimator to imager FL to basically fill the frame of a ASI178MM camera with a 4.5mm 10micron slit at 450mm of focal length for a full disc scan.
A good way to 'test the waters' and learn about using a spectroheliograph and its limitations.
I am currently designing my next one.....

John,
Unfortunately there are no current commercial spectroheliographs on the market.
There are 3D print plans available and a "set" of optics available from Shelyak in France.
My MiniSHG was made using unused 1 1/4" camera/ eyepiece adaptors, the 125mm lenses, a 2400 l/mm grating and a plywood box.
