Description
SolarScope, front viewThe Solarscope

For safe observations of the sun

The Solarscope is:
- easy to setup and to use
- with clear picture
- reasonable priced

- a solar scope for absolutely riskless solar observation alone or in groups e.g. in schools, observatories or public demonstrations
- sets up quickly for an overview of the sun
- a very good didactical aid for determining fundamental solar parameters and measurements on sun and earth
- a paedagogic instrument for daytime astronomy
- developed in collaboration with the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur.
- ideally suited for observing the sun even with bigger groups
The SolarScope projects (similar to a solar projection screen) a picture of the sun with approx. 115mm diameter to a white screen. The objective has 40mm aperture, the equivalent focal length is 13m. With the SolarScope, you can see:

- Solar spots
- Flares
- Limb darkening
- partial solar eclipses
- transits of mercury and venus

The solar scope can be set up with "a twist of the wrist" and is very easy to use, even for children.

View of the sun with the SolarScopeTechnical details:

- Base and observing cabin are made from robust carton
- Objective and secondary mirror are made from glass
- Overall picture quality better than 1 Lambda
- Dimensions: ca. 47 x 36 x 30cm
- Weight: ca. 1.3kg.
The SolarScope is real fun for classrooms. Setup and use are quite easy. Within minutes, you have visible results for a complete group of persons (students), not only for one-after-the-other. And - an important aspect - it is not immediately damaged if it is accidentally hit by a pupil!

Observations: With the solar scope, one can observe the general solar surface and sun spots at no risk.

At the venus transit on June 8th, 2004, this instrument was very popular!
