This actually blurs the fine details with little contrast. A sun-blocking visor like the Telegizmos TG-SO is placed over your head and the rear part of the telescope, so that it becomes dark around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This allows you to see sunspots and protuberances more clearly with an H-alpha telescope. The hood is used together with a telescope designed for the sun, such as a viewer with a good solar filter or one of the telescopes from the H-alpha series. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/telescopes\/solar-telescopes\/\">our solar telescopes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hood only blocks stray light and is not a solar filter itself. So never look at the sun without the correct filter. First point the telescope at the sun with a solar viewfinder and only then crawl under the hood. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/solar-filter-telescope\/\">our guide on sunscreens<\/a> Read what you are paying attention to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before that is the targeting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/universal-solar-finder-to-focus-your-telescope-on-the-sun-daystar\/\">a universal solar finder<\/a> Convenient, because you can find the sun without having to squint.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dark cap that covers your head and the ocular when looking at the sun.
