Just insert in your diagonal, add an eyepiece and view. The QUARK contains a custom Daystar Instruments 4.2X telecentric barlow lens fully optimized in coatings and optical design specifically for the Hydrogen Alpha wavelength. This highly specialized telecentric lens offers superior field flatness. Exact filter bandpass will vary based on final telescope application, so QUARK assemblies are qualified to show either prominence or surface (chromosphere).  No specific FWHM bandpass is designated. Now observers can buy a filter based on their desired observing goals instead of their budget. Choose prominences and surface (Chromosphere) detail. Both are available for the same low price! The fully optimized design eliminates the need for any adapters. It's all combined in one lightweight eyepiece sized device. The new, compact design configuration eliminates unnecessary components, weight and associated costs. We even reduced power consumption, so the Quark can now operate all day off a small, palm-sized optional battery pack.

Its 1.7-megapixel array (1608×1104) uses very large 9µm pixels across a 17.5mm diagonal, which gathers a great deal of light per pixel and, combined with a deep 100ke full-well capacity, gives you the dynamic range to hold both bright solar surface detail and fainter features in the same run. A 256MB DDR3 buffer sustains up to 126 fps in 12-bit mode over USB 3.0.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis camera suits solar and planetary imagers who want a larger sensor and wide dynamic range for full-disk and high-resolution solar work, along with lunar and planetary lucky imaging.

This wavelength is critical for studying solar phenomena like prominences, filaments, sunspots, and solar flares in great detail. Unlike standard white-light telescopes, which capture the Sun's broad spectrum, Hα solar telescopes offer a window into specific solar activity in the chromosphere, a layer of the Sun's atmosphere located just above the photosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eEtalon Filter Technology\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAt the heart of most Hydrogen Alpha solar telescopes lies the etalon filter, a highly precise optical device that isolates the Hα wavelength from the rest of the Sun’s emitted light. An etalon is a type of interferometer, consisting of two parallel mirrors separated by a precise distance. The etalon works by reflecting light multiple times between the mirrors, selectively allowing only wavelengths that satisfy specific resonance conditions to pass through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIn the case of Hα solar telescopes, the etalon is designed to transmit light at the Hα wavelength while blocking all other wavelengths. The key to the etalon’s performance lies in its ability to tune the wavelength it transmits. This is achieved by adjusting the distance between the mirrors or by slightly tilting the etalon, which changes the interference conditions. This tunability is crucial because the Sun's emission at Hα can shift slightly due to Doppler effects as material moves across the Sun’s surface and atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThere are two primary types of etalon filters used in solar telescopes: single etalon and double etalon systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSingle Etalon:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eA single etalon filter typically has a narrower bandwidth, providing high contrast for detailed solar observations but at the cost of limiting the field of view. This makes single etalon systems well-suited for viewing small, high-contrast features like prominences or filaments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDouble Etalon:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eA double etalon system uses two etalon filters in tandem to improve the wavelength selectivity, reduce the overall bandwidth, and enhance the contrast and image clarity across a wider field of view. Double etalon systems are preferred for more detailed solar studies because they can offer both a sharper image and better tunability, allowing for a more accurate depiction of solar dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolis Etalon Technology: \u003c\/strong\u003eSky-Watcher's Solis technology allows the Heliostar to achieve a 0.55A bandpass without the costly expense and complexity of a second etalon to achieve the same performance.

This wavelength is critical for studying solar phenomena like spicules, prominences, filaments, sunspots, and solar flares in great detail. Unlike standard white-light telescopes, which capture the Sun's broad spectrum, Hα solar telescopes offer a window into specific solar activity in the chromosphere, a layer of the Sun's atmosphere located just above the photosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEtalon Filter Technology\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of most Hydrogen Alpha solar telescopes lies the etalon filter, a highly precise optical device that isolates the Hα wavelength from the rest of the Sun’s emitted light. An etalon is a type of interferometer, consisting of two parallel mirrors separated by a precise distance. The etalon works by reflecting light multiple times between the mirrors, selectively allowing only wavelengths that satisfy specific resonance conditions to pass through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the case of Hα solar telescopes, the etalon is designed to transmit light at the Hα wavelength while rejecting all other wavelengths. The key to the etalon’s performance lies in its ability to tune the wavelength allowed through the filter. This is achieved by adjusting the distance between the mirrors or by slightly tilting the etalon, which changes the angle of incidence. Tuning the etalon to each side of the central wavelength is needed because local changes in atmospheric pressure change the refractive index of your local air mass.   The Sun's emission at Hα can also shift slightly due to Doppler effects as violent explosions in the Sun's chromosphere can cause solar plasma to move at enormous speeds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two primary types of etalon filters used in solar telescopes: single etalon and double etalon systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional H alpha solar telescopes have been sold in two basic configurations; single etalon and the very costly double etalon systems.  It has always been a choice of the single etalon's brighter prominences or more contrast of surface features from an additional etalon.  The second etalon has the unfortunate consequence of reducing the brightness of the system by a whopping 40%.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolis Etalon Technology™:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSky-Watcher's all new Solis Technology™ allows the Heliostar to achieve a 0.55A bandpass without the costly expense and complexity of a second etalon to achieve the same or better performance without reducing the brightness significantly.

It runs over USB3.0 (backward compatible with USB2.0) and is powered from the USB connection alone. An ST4 port is provided. As a one-shot-color camera it needs no filter wheel; solar use still requires proper solar filtration (a certified filter or dedicated solar telescope). An optional Active Cooling System can be added for longer exposures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood to Know Before You Order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolar imaging requires proper solar filtration:\u003c\/strong\u003e it is used behind a certified solar filter or a dedicated solar telescope, never at an unfiltered scope.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-cooled by default:\u003c\/strong\u003e passive cooling suits high-frame-rate work; an optional Active Cooling System extends it toward longer exposures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne-shot color:\u003c\/strong\u003e convenient single-exposure colour, at the 2.3 MP resolution of the IMX174.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished weight is 160 g:\u003c\/strong\u003e very light on the focuser.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it difficult to set up?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It threads on through its 1.25\" \/ M42 interface and runs on a single USB3.0 cable — no external power for the camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is it best used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFast one-shot-color solar, lunar and planetary imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need a filter wheel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo — the Bayer sensor captures colour directly.
