Most people never stop to look at the Sun.
We think that's a shame.
The Sun is worth your attention.
“Okay, but how do I know which one to buy?”

You don’t see this every day.
Sometimes it’s a sunspot group slowly drifting across the Sun.
Sometimes it’s quiet — until it isn’t.
We’ve seen it a lot.
And we still end up saying: okay, check this out.
Done right, it’s safe.
Looking at the Sun isn’t something to take lightly.
That’s why Seymour Solar filters are designed for secure, front-mounted use and carefully inspected before they ever ship.
If you’re not sure what you need, we’ll help you get it right.
Eclipses are only the beginning.
The same filter you use for an eclipse lets you observe sunspots, transits, and the Sun’s changing surface over time.
Once you have the right filter, you’ll find reasons to use it long after the big event has passed.
