The Vaonis Vespera Exploration Station lets you observe and photograph galaxies, star clusters, and other deep sky objects, and the Vespera Solar, Light Pollution & Nebula Filters Kit from B&H enhances its capabilities in exciting ways. The solar filter lets you see and monitor sunspots, the light pollution filter cuts through the glow of cities and towns, and the nebula filter amplifies the wavelengths of key elements of the massive gas and dust clouds. Attaching and detaching the filters is quick and easy.
This Solar Filter lets you use the Vaonis Vespera Digital Telescope to observe our closest star during the day. Mount the filter on the end of the optical arm to see and photograph sunspots. By taking multiple photos over the course of several days you can track part of the recurring 11-year cycle of sun spots, and also observe the sun's rotation. As with night-sky viewing and photography, the Vespera displays its image on the screen of your device, rather than through an optical eyepiece.
This Dual Band Filter will improve the quality of photos of nebulae taken with your Vaonis Vespera Exploration Station digital telescope. The filter selects hydrogen alpha (H-alpha) and oxygen III (O-III) wavelengths, which are prominent in nebulae, in order to boost contrast between the nebula and the sky behind it. The result is a high-quality image with sharper stars and finer details, even when taken in urban environments. The filter is easily installed on the Vespera's optical arm. While it's ideal for nebulae, the filter is incompatible for viewing galaxies, stars, planets, and the moon—simply replace the standard filter for viewing these objects.
This Light Pollution Filter for the Vaonis Vespera Exploration Station digital telescope allows night-sky photography even in cities and suburbs. It blocks wavelengths from human-generated light sources, while allowing the wavelengths from stars, nebulae, and other celestial objects.
