How do I make a solar observation?

1. Open the Gravity by Vaonis application and make sure you are in solar mode.

2. Instal the solar filter on Hestia. Note that the application will not detect whether the solar filter is present or not. It's important to put it on correctly to avoid damaging your smartphone's camera.

3. A black observation screen is initially expected.

4. Using the solar pointer, point the tripod at the sun until you have the sun on the screen.
