  • Seestar S50 Replacement Solar Filter

    This is the replacement solar filter for the Seestar S50 smart telescope. The filter is included with the Seestar S50, and we offer it separately as a replacement or a spare. This white-light filter has a 580-630 nm bandpass for capturing images of the Sun, including details like sunspots.

    White-Light Solar Imaging with a 580-630 nm Bandpass

    This is the same solar filter included with the Seestar S50. It features a metal-coated outer surface and an absorbing material within the substrate, and passes light between 580 and 630 nm.

    Warning: Do not observe the Sun directly with Seestar! For solar observation, a specialized solar filter is needed. Attach the solar filter to the Seestar S50 lens, then point it to the Sun. After observation, divert the lens from the Sun, and then take off the solar filter and put it away. Do not directly observe the sun without a special solar filter, which will cause irreversible damage to the product.

  • Is this the same solar filter that comes with the Seestar S50?

    Yes. This filter is included with the Seestar S50, and we offer it separately as a replacement or a spare.

    Which Seestar model does the Seestar S50 Replacement Solar Filter fit?

    It is designed for the Seestar S50.

    What can I see on the Sun with the Seestar S50 and this filter?

    This is a white-light filter for observing the Sun's photosphere. With the Seestar S50, you can image:

    • Sunspots: Dark, cooler areas on the Sun's surface, often appearing in groups.
    • Faculae: Bright spots that are often visible near the solar limb (edge).

    How do I use the Seestar S50 Replacement Solar Filter?

    Attach the solar filter to the Seestar S50 lens, then point it to the Sun. In the Seestar app, Solar mode photographs the Sun and turns on solar tracking automatically. After observation, divert the lens from the Sun, and then take off the solar filter and put it away.

    Can I look through the Seestar S50 with this filter attached?

    The Seestar S50 is a smart telescope that does not have an eyepiece for visual observation. You view the live image on the screen of your connected smartphone or tablet. Do not observe the Sun directly with Seestar: for solar observation, a specialized solar filter is needed.

    What is the bandpass of the Seestar S50 solar filter?

    580-630 nm, in the orange-red part of the spectrum.
