Customer Review: Expands Astronomy to Daytime
Summary: 4 Stars
I've long wanted to watch and photograph sun spots. Some of the solar filter material felt too flimsy for me. I would like to have a dedicated solar scope, but the cost is prohibitive. This filter is sturdy and offers good views. It is excellent for occasional solar study. I thought about making a filter for one of my large scopes, but one doesn't need much light gathering power to view the sun. This filter is just about the right size. I use it on my Orion Apex 90 MAK-CASS telescope.
Description of 4.10" ID Orion Full Aperture Solar Filter
Designed to fit snugly over the aperture of your telescope, these optical glass filters block 99.999% of incoming sunlight, allowing you to safely observe sunspots and solar granulation in the Sun's photosphere. The Sun appears in a natural, whitish color. The glass elements are machine-polished and triple-coated with nickel-chromium stainless steel for a scratch-resistant surface. Each filter has three nylon thumbscrews to ensure a snug fit to the front of your telescope or binocular. The thumbscrews complement the press-fit foam lining inside the filter's durable aluminum cell to accommodate diameters up to 1/4" smaller than the nominal size. A tight press fit is still required for safe solar viewing. Lifetime limited warranty.Telescope Accessories
