Astrozap Solar Filter

This filter is designed to fit telescopes with an outer diameter (OD) between 92mm and 98mm. Before purchasing, use a caliper or a precise measuring tape to measure the outer diameter of your telescope's front cell or dew shield to ensure it falls within this specific range.

Yes, this is a full-aperture glass solar filter specifically engineered for safe solar viewing. It blocks the vast majority of sunlight, allowing you to observe the sun's surface, sunspots, and solar granulation without damaging your eyes or equipment.

It is compatible with most standard telescope designs, including refractors, reflectors, Schmidt-Cassegrains, Maksutov-Cassegrains, and Dobsonians. The primary requirement is that your telescope's outer diameter must fall within the 92mm to 98mm range.

Glass solar filters are generally more durable and resistant to scratches or pinholes compared to thin-film solar filters. They provide a rigid, long-lasting surface that is easier to clean and maintain over many years of use.

Yes, this glass filter typically renders the sun in a natural, yellowish-orange hue. This is standard for glass solar filters and provides a comfortable, high-contrast view of solar features.
