Frequently Asked Questions

1 - 3 of 3

Q1: Do you have a solar filter for the Meade ETX90?

A: Thank you for visiting our site. There is a solar filter for the ETX 90 made by Scopetronix, which we carry on our website. The cost is $104.95. If you have any questions let us know we are happy to help.

Q2: does celestron make a solar filter to fit on the c11 advanced series scope?

A: No i am sorry they do not currently make a solar filter that large.

Q3: Is there anny way I can get one of these filters on my 70mm celestron skymaster binoculars? I do not care if it looks silly or not or if I have to rig it up with pvc or somthing, I just want to look at the sun without burning my eyes out. Thanx.

A: the best thing i can tell you is these are designed for telescopes not the binoculars. As you only have two (eyes) chances I would not recommend looking at the sun with anything other than what is directly designed to be used for that purpose. With these binoculars there is not a solar filter made for them. however an inexpensive binocular that will allow you to look at the sun is the BinoMite made by Coronado.

See the Sun safely!

View the Sun in safety with the Celestron solar filter for F70, F80, C80, N60 and N80 telescopes.



New Celestron solar filters are made with Baader Astro Solar Safety Film. Astro Film is clear, homogenous and attains the optical performance of high-quality plane-parallel glass filters. Teamed with double-sided, uniform-density, metal lens coatings, it produces brighter, sharper and more contrast-rich images than the competition.

As a result, the Sun will appear in its "real," neutral white color - not blue or orange - and the sky adjacent to the solar limb will be jet black. You'll see detail in sunspots, bright faculae near the limb and the mottled areas known as granules with these filters.

Celestron's solar filter is completely safe and durable (won't break like glass if dropped). Its film rating is ND-5, which means that it transmits 1/100,000 of visible light (.001%) while reflecting (blocking) 99.999%of unwanted light, and it has been declared safe for direct solar viewing by the German National Bureau of Standards for eye safety.

The Sun offers constant changes and will keep your observing interesting and fun. You'll see all it has to offer in safety with the Celestron solar filter for F70, F80, C80, N60 and N80 telescopes!

Don't go to the star party without an astronomer's red flashlight.
