Baader Planetarium AstroSolar Telescope Filter

Yes, this filter is specifically engineered for safe solar viewing. It uses high-quality AstroSolar Safety Film with a density of 5, which blocks 99.999% of sunlight to protect your eyes during visual observation.

This filter has a fixed diameter of 200 mm. Before purchasing, you must measure the outer diameter of your telescope's front aperture to ensure it is compatible with this specific size.

Absolutely. The optical quality of the AstroSolar film is excellent for both visual observation and high-magnification imaging, allowing you to capture sharp details of sunspots and solar granulation.

The filter includes centering bolts and safety straps designed to create a snug, reliable fit. Always double-check that the filter is firmly seated and secured with the straps before pointing your telescope toward the sun.

Unlike some glass filters that produce an orange or yellow tint, this AstroSolar film provides a neutral, natural white light view of the sun. This allows you to see the true color and contrast of solar features.
