NOTE: (1)Never Use Your Telescope If The Sun Filter is Any Disrepair, Otherwise Per-manent Eye Damage Will Result.(2)Because of the larger diameter, some solar filters may have wavy line on the film which will not have any effect for observation.
The sun is our central star, from which we live. That alone should be reason enough to observe it even more closely. The new Astromania solar filters let you do that easily and above all safely and are specially tailored to your telescope.Do you want a solar filter which does not involve any DIY? One which you can simply push onto the end of your telescope and immediately start solar observing? Then an Astromania solar filter is the perfect choice - they come fully assembled in an anodized aluminium mount. Which means you simply attach it and our Sun immediately becomes “within reach”.Our complete line of Safety Film Solar Filters feature renowned Baader AstroSolar Safety Film in a sturdy, clear-anodized aluminum cell. The high-quality polymer film material is metallized on both sides with an ion-deposited coating to form a safe barrier against all but 0.0001% of incoming sunlight to provide a clear, crisp view while rejecting harmful ultraviolet and infrared radiation. With exceptional resolution and superior contrast compared to Mylar and other solar filter materials, Astromania Solar Filters display a natural, neutral white view of the Sun’s surface, without artificial tinting. Once attached to a telescope, these filters provide sharp, scatter-free views of sunspots, solar eclipses, planetary transits, solar granulation, and even white filamentary faculae - the latter of which cannot be seen with most other solar filters. Due to their neutral color balance, Astromania Safety Film Solar Filters can be used in tandem with various color eyepiece filters to accentuate certain spectral passbands for telescopic studies of different layers within the solar “atmosphere”.
This product is advertised to fit 90mm to 112 mm apertures. It does not fit my 102mm scope and it barely fits my 80mm scope. I am keeping the filter, but I think the descriptions is very misleading.
Fits my Nikkor 200-500 DSLR lens perfectly. I was clumsy and dropped it about a foot to the table, and it bumped something and was slightly damaged. This is a very thin metal foil filter and is extremely fragil. I cut out a small piece of black electrical tape to cover the hole I accidentally made and fortunately I don’t see this on my pictures. It would be nice if it were at least plastic and not so fragile, but it works.
works great . I’m using it with an Opteka 1300 HD. it fits as described! I recommend being accurate with your size .
VERY fragile foil . it works … sort of, and Amazon issued a refund apparently, but not impressed. I guess you get what you pay for something!
I used this for my solar eclipse pictures. It worked great. Easy on and easy off.
