Daystar Instruments QUARK* Hydrogen Alpha “Eyepiece” – Chromosphere Model
The Daystar QUARK Hydrogen Alpha Chromosphere model is a highly specialized solar observing unit designed to reveal the dynamic surface-level activity of the Sun in incredible detail. Combining the functionality of a hydrogen-alpha etalon, energy rejection, and a telecentric amplifier into a single compact body, the QUARK transforms most refractor telescopes into powerful H-alpha solar instruments. The Chromosphere version is tuned to emphasize fine surface structures such as filaments, fibrils, plage, and active regions, making it ideal for visual observers and imagers who want to explore the Sun’s constantly changing face.
With its simple plug-and-play design, the QUARK fits into the telescope’s focuser like a standard eyepiece and requires only a 5V power source to operate. Optical components are factory-tuned and thermally regulated for exceptional contrast and stability, allowing users to focus on observing rather than equipment adjustments.
Key Features
• Chromosphere-tuned for enhanced visibility of surface features and active regions
• Integrates etalon, blocking filter, and 4.2x telecentric into one compact unit
• Designed for refractors from f/4 to f/8 (optimizes to approximately f/30 internally)
• 1.25" eyepiece holder with 2" focuser barrel for easy compatibility
• Built-in thermal regulation maintains precise bandpass performance
• Ideal for visual observation and high-resolution solar imaging
• Requires only a standard 5V USB power supply
The QUARK Chromosphere model is an accessible, high-performance solution for anyone looking to explore solar hydrogen-alpha features with remarkable clarity—no dedicated solar telescope required.
