Solar Observing
hallo

Now you can see the sun
better than ever ...

...and turn your solar observing hobby
into a passion!


   Have you looked through a hydrogen alpha filter and been disappointed? Perhaps there was not enough contrast and you didn't see all the detail you were expecting?

   Or found that you had to move the scope around to try and improve the view? Maybe you found that you could not see the whole disc of the sun including the prominences at the same time?
   Did 'ghost' images prove annoying, or did you find that the image was just too dim for a good view?

If your answer to any of these questions is 'yes' then you were not using a Solarscope telescope or filter!

Solarscope solar filters are manufactured to the highest standard by experienced optical engineers using state of the art materials and techniques. Every filter is tested at every stage of the manufacture and assembled by hand and re-tested to ensure that you receive a product that is both technically perfect and totally safe for you to use.



Sold in the UK by Venturescope, you are welcome to come and look through a Solarscope filter on any sunny day! Ninian, who is an avid solar observer and imager, will be pleased to see you, answer all your questions, and demonstrate these fantastic instruments.


Ninian says "Here are just a few of the reasons you need a Solarscope Hydrogen Alpha Filter System ..."
  • Fantastic Contrast
  • Full hydrogen alpha across the field of view
  • Full aperture filtering (no central obstruction to reduce contrast)
  • No need to constantly re-tune the filter as they are completely thermally stable
  • 0.7 Angstrom Bandpass for superb disc detail and brilliant prominences
  • Guaranteed eye safe when used in accordance with manufacturer's instructions
  • Tiltable filter enables you to follow fast moving 'doppler shifted' events.
Solarscope Solarfilters are now being used by Universities such as the University of London Observatory and the University of Dublin: many Amateur Astronomical Societies and private individuals.


Mr Brown-Grieves took this picture and says... "Had a go at photographing the sun with my Nikon Coolpix 4500. Seeing was not brilliant (too many houses in the way) but as it was my first attempt I was quite pleased."

We think Mr Brown-Grieves should be 'quite pleased' too!!
