How to observe the sun using my solar filter?

Solar observation must be carried out with Vaonis solar filters. Never look directly at the sun without the filter, as this could injure you or damage your phone.

  1. Select solar mode from the camera menu.
  2. Install the Vaonis solar filter by screwing it onto the front of Hestia.

The image will turn black, with only the sun remaining visible after the filter is installed.

How to attach the solar pointer?
  1. Attach the Solar pointer to Hestia.
  2. Aim at the sun with Hestia, using the tripod.
  3. Use the solar pointer's shadow to help you aim at the sun.
  4. Once the sun is centered on the screen, fix the tripod's altitude axis.

⚠ Never look directly at the sun with your naked eyes, as it can cause serious damage to your vision.
