DayStar ULF-90 \u2013 90 mm Foldable Universal Solar Filter<\/h2>\n

Visit DayStar ULF-90<\/strong> is a large, universal solar filter designed for telescopes, astronomical binoculars, spotting scopes, and certain large camera lenses with a compatible outer diameter.<\/p>\n

It has an aperture of 90 mm<\/strong> and fits onto instruments with an outer diameter between 90 and 109 mm<\/strong>. It is particularly suitable for many telescopes and astronomical binoculars with a nominal aperture ranging from
\n80 and 90 mm.<\/p>\n

Compatibility depends, however, on the actual outer diameter of the tube or steam barrier<\/strong>, and not just the aperture specified by the instrument's manufacturer.<\/p>\n

Solar observation in white light<\/h3>\n

When properly assembled and securely mounted in front of the instrument's aperture, the ULF-90 allows you to observe or photograph the Sun with a tint orange, sharp, and high-contrast<\/strong>. It also lets you see the large spots
\nsolar panels, if present.<\/p>\n

This filter is suitable for observing solar eclipses and large structures visible on the photosphere. It is not a specialized H-alpha solar filter and does not allow you to observe prominences or details of the chromosphere as a dedicated H-alpha system would.<\/p>\n

Thousand Oaks solar film, ND 5 density<\/h3>\n

The ULF-90 uses a solar film Thousand Oaks Optical<\/strong>, from a manufacturer listed by the American Astronomical Society as one of its recognized suppliers of solar filters.<\/p>\n

The film has high optical density ND 5<\/strong>, corresponding to a rejection of 99.999 % of solar radiation<\/strong>. It meets the transmission requirements of the standard ISO 12312-2:2015<\/strong> regarding filters intended for direct observation of the Sun.<\/p>\n

Disclaimer Regarding the ISO Standard:<\/strong> The ISO 12312-2 standard applies to eyewear such as sunglasses. It was not designed to cover filters built into cameras, telescopes, or astronomical eyepieces,
\nbinoculars or spotting scopes. At present, there is no recognized, consensus-based standard that specifically covers this entire product category.<\/p>\n

The ULF-90 is therefore manufactured and packaged as a an optical accessory designed to be mounted in front of an instrument<\/strong>. It must never be used as a pair of glasses or held directly in front of the eyes.<\/p>\n

    Recommended Compatibility<\/h3>\n

    The ULF-90 is primarily intended for use with the following equipment:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • telescopes with 80- to 90-mm outer tubes that are compatible; ;<\/li>\n
    • 80- to 90-mm astronomical binoculars; ;<\/li>\n
    • certain large telescopes; ;<\/li>\n
    • certain telephoto lenses and large camera lenses; ;<\/li>\n
    • instruments with an outer diameter between 90 and 109 mm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Important information:<\/strong> Measure the outer diameter of the tube and the steam baffle precisely
      \nor the front part of the instrument. A telescope advertised with an aperture of 80 or 90 mm
      \nmay have a significantly larger outer diameter.<\/p>\n

      Essential Safety Guidelines<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Never look at the Sun without a specially designed solar filter.<\/li>\n
      • Never place the filter near the eyepiece: it must be installed in front of the instrument\u2019s aperture.<\/li>\n
      • Do not use the filter if the film is torn, punctured, heavily scratched, or damaged.<\/li>\n
      • Never use the product when it is flat, unfolded, or partially assembled.<\/li>\n
      • Carefully inspect the film before each use.<\/li>\n
      • Make sure the filter completely covers the opening of the instrument.<\/li>\n
      • No part of the solar disk should be visible around the filter.<\/li>\n
      • Make sure the tabs hold the filter securely in place around the tube.<\/li>\n
      • Check that the filter is secure before tilting the telescope or lens downward.<\/li>\n
      • Never remove the filter while the instrument is pointed at the Sun.<\/li>\n
      • Handle the equipment with care to avoid moving or dropping the filter.<\/li>\n
      • If possible, add a non-destructive safety fastener to prevent accidental removal.<\/li>\n
      • Never leave a telescope pointed at the Sun unattended.<\/li>\n
      • Children must be supervised at all times by a responsible adult.<\/li>\n
      • Remove or cover the optical scanner if it does not have its own compatible front sunshade.<\/li>\n
      • This product is not a pair of eclipse glasses and should never be used directly in front of the eyes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
