Telegizmos Solar Observing Hood

TeleGizmos Solar Observing Hood

Solar observing can be awe-inspiring—but if you've ever struggled to see your eyepiece, screen, or solar detail while baking under a bright sky, you know that glare is no joke. Enter the TeleGizmos Solar Observing Hood—a thoughtfully designed, light-blocking solution that helps you see more, sweat less, and keep your eyes fully focused on the Sun.

This hood is crafted from the same high-performance Solar/Weather Barrier fabric used in TeleGizmos’ legendary 365 Series covers. The aluminized outer layer reflects sunlight, keeping you cooler while drastically reducing ambient light intrusion. Inside, the dark-lined interior absorbs glare and reflections, creating a shaded, contrast-rich environment for both your face and your optics.

Designed to fit comfortably over your head and telescope rear assembly, the Solar Observing Hood drapes over your shoulders and the eyepiece or camera setup, creating a portable "solar tent" that blocks sunlight from all angles—ideal for eyepiece viewing, solar imaging, or monitor use in the field.

Features:

• Designed specifically for solar astronomy and daytime viewing

• Made from TeleGizmos' Solar/Weather Barrier material

• Reflective outer surface keeps heat out and sunlight off your back

• Dark inner lining eliminates glare and improves contrast

• Generously sized to drape over both the observer and rear of the scope

• Great for eyepiece work, solar sketching, solar photography, or laptop screen shading

Observing Tip:

Pair this hood with a stable solar filter setup and you’ll be able to see fine sunspot detail, granulation, and even prominences more easily—without shielding your eyes with one hand or squinting at your screen in direct light.
