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 Vespera

The Solar 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.

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.

*Continuous display of photos with a unit exposure time of 250µs

Observe safely

The filter is made of glass 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 Mode of the Vaonis Singularity app, to ensure the observation runs smoothly and that you and your instrument are safe.
