Daystar QUARK CALCIO H-Line filter for F7 or longer refractors, Live Observations
Daystar Instruments QUARK is the first H-Line CALCIUM "Eyepiece" for visual observations
Attach it to your refractor and turn it into a solar telescope
To be used in refractors from F7
From 80mm you will need an ERF Filter (Energy Rejection Filter) to use with tracking.
The Calcium filter is not compatible with red and yellow ERFs (Energy Rejection Filters).
Recommended to always use the daystar UV/IR filter (article 63518) and mandatory from 150mm aperture
Why line H?
Many astronomers forget that the calcium H and K lines produce virtually identical views of the Sun. Solar researchers who only image the Sun with CCD cameras often choose K-Line for purely research purposes. Unfortunately, with calcium K-line filters, many older astronomers can't see the lower wavelength and miss out on all the fun. We offer longer wavelength Calcium H line filters for visual observers so that most customers can enjoy Calcium!
For use on F/7 or longer focal ratio refractors up to 80mm aperture in short, non-tracking sessions, the user does not need to worry about settings.
From 80mm, the use of ERF (Energy Rejection Filter) is mandatory and thus it is already suitable for observation sessions with follow-up.
The Calcium filter is not compatible with red and yellow energy rejection filters, so it can be used with refractors up to 80mm in diameter (according to our products for sale) and using Daystar's UV/IR filter (Number 63518). short sessions without follow-up.
Below 80mm, the use of ERF (Energy Rejection Filter) is recommended for sessions with monitoring, in addition to significantly improving its performance.
Just insert it into your diagonal, add an eyepiece, and see.
Short focal ratio refractors will need a 2x or 2.5x telecentric Barlow for best performance and to achieve the ideal working focal length of the device which is between F7 and F30.
No specific FWHM bandpass is designated, but it will be around 5 Ångstroms
Observers can now choose to purchase a filter based on their observing goals rather than their budget.
Fully optimized design eliminates the need for adapters.
Everything is combined in a lightweight device the size of an eyepiece.
The new compact design configuration eliminates unnecessary components, weight and associated costs. We've even reduced power consumption, so Quark can now run all day on an optional small, palm-sized battery.
*The QUARK array is a product of DayStar Instruments, utilizing DayStar Filters' Fabry Perot etalon technology.
