The SUNSCAN is a revolutionary spectroheliograph designed to let you capture images of the Sun in minutes, directly from your smartphone. This complete, self-contained unit is the fruit of several months' work by our team of enthusiasts. With the SUNSCAN, you can explore the wonders of the Sun like never before.

A sophisticated device that combines several advanced technologies to give you a unique experience. Here's how it works

  • Modular design: The SUNSCAN is made up of several distinct parts, each designed for easy assembly. You can purchase each part separately via our partner dealers and follow our step-by-step building guide.

  • High-quality optics: The SUNSCAN incorporates high-quality slit and lenses, grating and mirror to ensure sharp, detailed images of the Sun.

  • Raspberry Pi and miniature color camera: the heart of the SUNSCAN is a Raspberry Pi that controls image capture. An integrated miniature color camera lets you instantly view the results on your smartphone.

  • Control via smartphone: thanks to our dedicated app, you can control the SUNSCAN directly from your smartphone, making the experience even more intuitive and accessible.

With the SUNSCAN, you have in your hands a powerful tool for exploring the mysteries of the Sun. Whether you're an amateur astronomer or a technology enthusiast, the SUNSCAN is there to accompany you in your discoveries.
