Abstract

See full text

A viewing device adapted to support an imaging device includes a panel defining an imaging aperture to facilitate a capture of an image, by a camera sensor of the imaging device, of solar phenomena, and a viewing window to facilitate a view, by one of the human eyes, of the solar phenomena. The viewing window is arranged distally from a first longitudinal end of the panel relative to the imaging aperture and is arranged laterally offset from the imaging aperture. The viewing device also includes an optical filter attached to the panel and arranged covering the viewing window to filter parasitic light rays, and an engagement member adapted to releasably engage with the imaging device and retain the imaging device with the panel such that the camera sensor is aligned with the imaging aperture. The viewing device uses an authentication identification to eliminate the risk of counterfeiting and preserve safety.
