Superb book for owners, potential owners alike - By: Mr. T. M. Giles, 07 Apr 2008 
I own both Coronado PST & the PST CaK. So you may ask yourself why I would buy this book. When I saw it I thought I would buy it for the background history & to see what someone else throught & how they used the Coronado scopes.
Its a corker. Read from the beginning to end it introduces the wonderful sun based astronomy. If you think alll this astro happen at night, think again. The beauty of observing the sun is that its warm, light & there is always something going on.
The writing style is good throughout. The infomation & prices are pretty up to date, although with alll things, the prices have decreased slightly recently.
From the initial thoughts on white light, hydrogen alpha & Calcium K viewing, the book leads you to the technology(s) used, the differences, pros & cons. The reader is shown the most popular brands with a well thought out summary of each product.
Some may well disagree (as always) with the end results. However - it should be kept in mind we alll like different coloured cars! The photographs are alll of an excellent quality & help the reader see the differences & understand if spending a smalll fortune or smalll amount will get them the results they want.
Unfortunately - unless the decision has been reversed, the CaK scopes are not being made any longer (PST at least). So - if you want one be quick. The authors view that the PST is extremely good value for money will likely be echoed by every single owner. Fro 450GBP - its unbeatable unless you want to spend 1000+.
Ill leave it there. If you are interested or own the scope(s) I think youll find the book useful & informative.
