Hydrogen Alpha Solar Filters and Solar Telescopes offer a view to a whole new world!

Safe solar astronomy requires a filter to reduce the amount of light passing through a user’s telescope.
| White Light filters reduce the overall brightness of all light coming from the sun. | Hydrogen Alpha filters reduce the color of light (the spectrum) to only allow light being emitted by excited Hydrogen atoms. |
| H-alpha Solar Filters Daystar offers a wide variety of H-alpha Solar filters designed to mount onto telescopes. | H-alpha Solar Telescopes Daystar also offers a selection of dedicated H-alpha Solar Telescopes. |

| H-alpha filters can be applied onto refractors of any focal ratio or any aperture and a wide variety of reflector telescopes. Daystar Filters mount at the rear of the telescope so they are not aperture limited and can be moved around to different telescopes. The Quark filter, designed for amateur astronomers starts at $1,295. Quantum filters are designed for advanced amateurs and research applications. | H-alpha telescopes are designed from scratch to incorporate the Daystar filter permanently into the telescope. Solar telescopes are designed with optics optimized for the 656nm wavelength of H-alpha. Daystar solar telescopes also incorporate other focuser and baffling features which optimize contrast and ease of operation. Entry level 60mm Scout scopes start at $995. Daystar Sol 60/80/100/130mm telescopes are for mid-level astronomers Daystar’s SR-127 telescope is designed for research applications. |
