Features & Highlights:

  • Dual Wavelength Capability: The DayStar Quantum 5Å PE Solar Filter is specially designed to capture two crucial wavelengths of Calcium emissions - the Calcium H line at 3969Å and two variations of the Calcium K-line at 3933.7Å. This dual capability empowers researchers and enthusiasts to explore Calcium activity on the Sun with precision.
  • Versatility for Both Visual and Imaging Purposes: Crafted to cater to a wide spectrum of enthusiasts, from amateur visual observers to dedicated imaging aficionados, the DayStar Calcium H-line Quantum Filters offer a versatile solution for solar exploration. Whether you're seeking to visually explore the Sun's Calcium activity or capture stunning, high-resolution images, this filter serves as a powerful gateway to an awe-inspiring celestial experience. With DayStar's Calcium H-line Quantum Filters, elevate your solar observations to a new level of precision and fascination.

  • Academic Research Standard: Traditionally, the Calcium K line has been the preferred choice for university-level research on Solar Calcium activity. This choice has played a pivotal role in understanding the depth of the solar atmosphere, making the DayStar Quantum Filter a valuable tool for academic investigations.
  • Enhanced Visual Clarity: The filter's focus on the Calcium H line (3969Å) is strategically chosen for its proximity to the visual spectrum. This provides observers with a clearer and more vivid visual representation of Calcium activity in a high-contrast violet color. This feature sets it apart from filters primarily designed for the K line.
  • Optimal Isolation and Sensitivity: The Calcium K line has historically been favored for its clear isolation and comparable sensitivity to imaging sensors. This ensures that researchers can obtain detailed and accurate data on Calcium activity with precision and confidence.
  • Imaging Flexibility: The filter is compatible with a wide range of telescopes including refractors, SCTs, and Maksutovs, making it a versatile tool for solar observations across different setups.
  • Comprehensive Package: The package includes front and rear plates for secure installation, a reliable power supply for optimal performance, detailed instructions for seamless usage, and a durable hard case for safe storage and transportation. This ensures that users have all the necessary components for a successful observation session.
  • Additional Accessories for Best Performance: To achieve the best results, the DayStar Quantum Filter may benefit from supplementary accessories. This includes a UV/IR cut filter, and optionally, a Powermate Barlow or stop down mask to achieve focal ratios ranging from F/13 to F/35. These accessories are available for separate purchase.
  • Proven Observatory Results: Notably, some observatories, such as the Dutch Open Telescope, have achieved outstanding results by employing the Ca II H line for their imaging purposes. This attests to the filter's efficacy and reliability in producing high-quality solar observations
