DayStar ULF-50 \u2013 50 mm Foldable Universal Solar Filter<\/h2>\n

Visit DayStar ULF-50<\/strong> is a versatile, foldable, and affordable solar filter designed to safely observe or photograph the Sun using a camera, a small pair of binoculars, a small telescope, or certain compatible optical instruments.<\/p>\n

Its opening of 50 mm<\/strong> Suitable for instruments with an outer diameter between 50 and 69 mm<\/strong>. In particular, it is compatible with most lenses that come with digital SLR cameras, as well as with lenses that are permanently attached to certain cameras.<\/p>\n

For lenses with an outer diameter at the lower end of this range, the tabs should be folded inward to ensure a better fit around the lens.<\/p>\n

Observing and Photographing the Sun<\/h3>\n

Once properly assembled and positioned in front of the lens, the filter allows you to observe or photograph the Sun with a tint orange, sharp, and high-contrast<\/strong>. It also makes it possible to distinguish large sunspots when they are present.<\/p>\n

In particular, this filter can be used to photograph solar eclipses, clouds passing in front of the solar disk, and changes in large sunspot regions.<\/p>\n

Thousand Oaks Window Film<\/h3>\n

The ULF-50 uses a solar film Thousand Oaks Optical, ND 5 density<\/strong>, from a manufacturer listed by the American Astronomical Society as one of its recognized suppliers of solar filters.<\/p>\n

The film rejects 99.999 % of solar radiation<\/strong> and meets the transmission requirements of the standard ISO 12312-2:2015<\/strong> applicable to filters intended for direct observation of the Sun.<\/p>\n

Regulatory clarification:<\/strong> The ISO 12312-2 certification applies to devices such as sunglasses. The ULF-50 is an integrated filter intended to be mounted in front of an optical instrument. It is not designed to be used as a pair of glasses and must never be held directly in front of the eyes.<\/p>\n

      Important information:<\/strong> Measure the actual outer diameter of the lens or tube at
      \non which the filter will be installed. The thread size indicated on a camera lens does not
      \ndoes not always correspond to its outer diameter.<\/p>\n

      Essential Safety Guidelines<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Never look at the sun without special solar protection.<\/li>\n
      • Never use the filter if it is damaged, torn, punctured, or heavily scratched.<\/li>\n
      • Never use the filter when it is flat, unfolded, or partially assembled.<\/li>\n
      • Assemble the filter completely before placing it in front of the instrument.<\/li>\n
      • Inspect the solar film before each use, preferably in front of a light source other than sunlight.<\/li>\n
      • Make sure the filter completely covers the lens opening.<\/li>\n
      • No part of the solar disk should be visible around the filter.<\/li>\n
      • Make sure the tabs are holding the filter securely in place before pointing the instrument at the Sun.<\/li>\n
      • Check that the filter is secure before tilting the lens or telescope downward.<\/li>\n
      • Never remove the filter while the instrument is pointed at the Sun.<\/li>\n
      • Handle the device with care so as not to accidentally dislodge the filter.<\/li>\n
