Observing the Sun requires specific, approved and technically adequate equipment. It is not an option, it is an obligation. In this category you will find a specialized selection of accessories for solar observation and solar eclipses, designed to ensure safety, contrast and maximum optical performance in both visual observation and solar photography.
Within the mother category SOLAR ECLIPSE, here we gather all the essential complements to observe total, partial or annular solar eclipses with telescopes, binoculars or naked eye in a completely safe way.
🔎 What accessories do you need to observe the Sun safely?
Observing the Sun without certified protection can cause irreversible eye injuries. For this reason, it is essential to use filters and systems specifically designed for solar use.
In this section you will find:
-
Solar filters for telescopes (full aperture or off-axis)
-
Solar filters for binoculars
-
ISO 12312-2 certified solar films
-
Approved eclipse glasses
-
Glass and optical polymer solar filters
-
H-alpha narrow band solar filters
-
Accessories for solar photography and solar astrophotography
We work with leading manufacturers such as Baader Planetarium, Lunt Solar Systems and Thousand Oaks Optical, brands internationally recognized for their reliability and compliance with safety regulations.
solar Observation in white light vs. H-alpha
It is important to understand the technical difference:
-
White light solar filters: allow you to observe sunspots, transit of planets and eclipse phases with great clarity. They are the most accessible and safe option for most amateurs.
-
H-alpha filters (656.28 nm): allow observing solar prominences, filaments and chromospheric activity. They are more advanced systems and require specific equipment.
Choosing one or the other will depend on your objective: occasional eclipse observation or detailed study of solar activity.
📷 Accessories for solar eclipse photography
A solar eclipse does not allow improvisations. In addition to the appropriate solar filter, it is advisable to have:
-
SLR or mirrorless camera adapters
-
Photographic solar filters of specific neutral density for the Sun
-
Stable supports and mounts with tracking
-
Remote triggers
A common mistake is to use conventional ND filters or smoked glass: they are neither safe nor optically suitable. Only certified solar filters should be used.
🌍 Prepare for the next solar eclipse
Solar eclipses are high-demand astronomical events. Material runs out weeks before the event. If you are planning to observe an upcoming total or partial solar eclipse, we recommend acquiring your equipment in advance and verifying compatibility with your telescope or binoculars.
