Solar Fast Tilter Player One: eliminate Newton's rings in seconds

Anyone interested in narrow-band solar imaging is familiar with the problem of Newton rings, These undesirable interferences degrade the quality of images of the Sun. Although Player One cameras already incorporate a sensor tilt plate, two difficulties remain:

• Adjusting the small screws is time-consuming, especially in direct sunlight.
• Beginners don't always know how to adjust the tilt plate correctly.

To address these issues, Player One has developed an innovative, patented product: the Solar Fast Tilter (SFT), a dedicated adapter for solar imaging that makes tilt adjustment quick and easy.

Remove Newton rings in 5 seconds

Specifically designed for narrow-band solar imaging, the Solar Fast Tilter allows a tilt of approx. ±9 degrees. Thanks to just 2 screws control, angle adjustment takes just a few seconds, whereas conventional systems require time-consuming, meticulous handling.

Directions for use For best results, we recommend keeping the SFT and camera at the same angle.

Focusing compatibility

The majority of telescopes are perfectly compatible with Player One cameras, and achieve focus without difficulty with the Solar Fast Tilter. However, a few rare models, such as the Lunt 40, However, some of these instruments do not have the draught required to reach the focal point when the SFT is used. Check the draft available for your instrument before purchasing.

For whom?

The Solar Fast Tilter is aimed at all solar astrophotographers who want to save time in the field and obtain Newton's ring-free images, whether they're new to solar imaging or experienced observers looking to simplify their workflow.
