Sun Shields for Solar Telescopes
These shield the observer at the eyepiece (or camera) from direct sunlight.
Seeing an image in a solar scope eyepiece is difficult unless something
blocks the glare from sunlight. And sunlight doesn't make a camera's job any
easier.
The shields are made from acrylic mirror to reject the sun's light and heat,
with a textured black surface on the eyepiece side. Shields are available in two
sizes, 5.8x7.8" and 7.8x11.4". The total weight of the small shield is 8-9 oz, the
large size is 13-14 oz. The shields mount to the scope with ABS saddles and are
secured to the scope with 1/8" shock cord with a barrel slide lock.
The shields also provide a solar finder with a field of view much wider than the
PST finder, making target acquisition easy.
Made in Texas with acrylic, ABS, nylon, polyethylene, stainless steel hardware,
and whatever shock cord (bungee) is made of.
