This tutorial explains everything you need to know about buying a solar telescope, whether for visual or imaging use. I cover broadband, hydrogen alpha, and calcium K wavelengths. I explain what you can expect to see, and what you should expect to spend. I discuss the pros and cons of all major suppliers.
