Description: | These full-aperture optical glass filters deliver superb views of the Sun, without risk to your eyes. While more expensive than Mylar filters, Orion solar filters provide better contrast, a more natural yellow-orange?color rather than blue?and are more durable. They?re ideal for photographing the Sun too.
The glass elements are machine-polished and triple-coated with an advanced nickel- chromium stainless steel alloy for a scratch-resistant surface. The filter passes only a fraction of the incoming light, rejecting harmful ultraviolet and infrared radiation.
Each filter is mounted in an aluminum cell that slide-fits over the front of your telescope. Size shown is the ideal diameter of front of telescope; filter will fit diameters up to 1/4" smaller with foam tape liner supplied. |
