The Daystar QUARK Hydrogen Alpha Prominence model is a compact, all-in-one solar filtering system designed to deliver stunning views of the Sun’s towering prominences, limb activity, spicules, and eruptive events. Built as a self-contained etalon unit that fits into your telescope’s focuser like a standard eyepiece, the QUARK transforms most refractor telescopes into high-performance H-alpha solar instruments without the need for complex setups.
The Prominence version is tuned to emphasize bright off-limb structures and large-scale magnetic activity, making it perfect for observers and imagers focused on dramatic solar phenomena. All internal filtering, blocking, and telecentric amplification are integrated into a single housing, while precise electronic temperature control ensures stable and consistent bandpass performance.
Key Features
• Prominence-tuned for enhanced visibility of off-limb structures, loops, and eruptive activity
• Integrated etalon, blocking filter, and 4.2x telecentric amplifier
• Compatible with refractors from f/4 to f/8 (internally optimized to approximately f/30)
• 1.25" eyepiece holder with 2" nosepiece for broad telescope compatibility
• Thermally regulated system maintains stable, high-contrast performance
• Excellent for visual observing and solar imaging focused on limb activity
• Requires only a standard 5V USB power source for operation
The QUARK Prominence model is an ideal, user-friendly option for capturing the dramatic edge activity of the Sun with clarity and ease—no dedicated solar telescope required.
