Vaonis Vespera Solar Filter Astronomer by night, astronomer by day! Observe the closest star to Earth during the day with the Vespera solar filter. The filter allows you to observe sunspots (dark spots) that show the intensity of the Sun’s activity. Photograph the Sun with VesperaThe Solar Pointing mode allows you to observe the Sun in almost real-time using the live display*. Capture photos at any time from the Observation tab of the Singularity mobile app. Sun spots observed on 12/07/2022 with the Vespera solar filter. Take several shots at different times of the day, week or month and compare your photos. Witness how the Sun’s activity changes with the appearance or disappearance of sunspots. These can have a life span of several days, more rarely several weeks. Sun spots monitoring Automatic video recording for solar/planetary observation is not yet offered in Singularity. To make an animation, retrieve your photos in jpg format from Vespera’s internal memory and put your photos together using photo/gif animation software. The Solar Pointing mode is not yet suitable for observing solar eclipses. *Continuous display of photos with a unit exposure time of 250µs Observe safelyThe filter is made of a metalized foil with a dimming effect. It will reduce the amount of light and allow you to observe the Sun in a way that is safe for your instrument. You will be guided through every step of your adventure by the Solar Pointing mode of the Vaonis Singularity app, to ensure the observation runs smoothly and that you and your instrument are safe. Warnings Your Vespera station should never be pointed towards the sun unless a solar filter is installed. You can only use Vespera to observe the sun using the Solar Pointing feature of the Singularity app and the solar filter specially designed by Vaonis. The use of any other means to observe the Sun (pointing by coordinates, pointing by hand, use of any other filter, etc.) would void your warranty in the event of damage to your equipment. (see Warranties below). Never look directly at the sun without adequate protection. Direct observation of the sun without protection and without a solar filter, even for a short time, can lead to serious eye burns and potential loss of vision or even blindness. Do not attempt to open the lens ring that contains the filter (see Warranty below).
