Astrozap Baader Solar Filter

This filter is precision-engineered for 6-inch Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, specifically the 6 SE and 6 Evolution models. It is designed to fit the front cell of these specific tubes securely.

The Baader AstroSolar film used in this filter provides a neutral white image, which is the sun's true color. This allows you to see more accurate detail, such as faculae and granulation, without the color distortion common in cheaper filters.

The filter features a heavy-duty aluminum cell with nylon thumbscrews that tighten against the telescope tube. It also includes a notched design that accommodates side rails and dovetail bars, ensuring a snug, slip-free fit without needing extra straps.

Yes, this filter is rigorously tested and meets international safety standards, including CE certification (EN 169/92) and PTB approval. It is designed specifically for safe visual solar observation.

While the 18-gauge powder-coated aluminum is durable and robust, it is lightweight enough that it should not significantly impact the balance or tracking performance of your Celestron 6 SE or Evolution mount.
