Solar Telescopes

Unlocking the Secrets of the Sun

Don’t be shocked that a 10-dollar filter can show you the sun through a regular reflector/refractor telescope and eyepiece. Albeit it is grey-imaged and a bit bland, it is doable and harmless. Something that ancient Greeks or Egyptians back in the …….. Couldn’t say about their archaic sun-gazing instruments; most probably, a good number of them lost their eyesight over it! 

Today, we face a swath of filters and lenses to capture the intriguing surface of the sun when our telescopes are facing it. However, none come close to the magic of modern, highly-specialized, and slightly-expensive Solar Telescopes, picture-wise. Only by these intricate designs can we safely observe the solar flares and not have to walk around with an eyepatch for the rest of our lives.

Word of Caution

Observing the sun can be fun and enticing but extremely dangerous. Always use the recommended settings and equipment set; otherwise, the collateral damage to the tube and your eyes could be irreversible.

The fire of astrophotography from the biggest object in our solar system also adds fuel to this fire. Nowadays, more and more souls rush to capture solar flares and spots of a surface that breathes life into our surface.
