The sun is viewed in a natural yellowish-orange image. Sun spots, granulation, and solar events such as an eclipse, are easily viewed. This filter can be used for direct viewing through the telescope or for photography. The filter is covered in plastic and packaged in a foam lined filter box for protection and shock absorption during handling. It is durable enough to store the filter while not in use. Included are instructions for use and care. How do I determine the size of filter to order? The filter slips over the sky end of your optical tube. You must measure the outside diameter of your optical tube. To measure the diameter use a ruler, tape measurer, or caliper. You want to measure the widest distance across the end of your telescope. Measure from the outside of the casing on one side, across the center, to the outside of the casing on the other side. Order the solar filter size that is just larger than your measurement. You are comparing your measurement with the solar filter inside diameter (ID).
