Solar Telescopes

Solar telescopes and solar viewing kits let you observe the Sun safely by filtering out harmful wavelengths and cutting the Sun's brightness to reveal sunspots, surface texture and other detail. Always pair the Sun with purpose-built solar filtering, never an unfiltered scope.

We carry Explore Scientific ED80 solar kits and refractors paired with solar filters, a National Geographic refractor with included solar filter, and DWARF II smart scopes set up for solar imaging. Match the filter or kit to your optic so the whole setup is rated for safe daytime viewing.
