| At the heart of the Heliostar 76 Hα is //Sky-Watcher's// Solis Etalon Technology, which achieves a bandwidth of < 0.55 Å. Hα solar telescopes with one etalon typically achieve a bandwidth of 0.7–0.8 Å. Achieving a bandwidth of 0.5 Å or less, which significantly improves contrast and fine detail, normally requires a second etalon (known as "double stacking"). | At the heart of the Heliostar 76 Hα is //Sky-Watcher's// Solis Etalon Technology, which achieves a bandwidth of < 0.55 Å.

This technique is known as ‘double stacking’. It is used, for example, in our [[:en:osst | Coronado Solar Max II]]. |
