Glass solar filter
Description
These are safe full aperture (sometimes referred as clear aperture) solar filters. This means that it allows the most light possible into the telescope because it allows the full aperture of your telescope to be viewed. The full aperture allows the best possible daytime viewing when there is minimal atmospheric turbulence. If turbulence is present a mask can be put over the end of the filter to effectively reduce the aperture.
This premium solar filter has an aluminum cell that is secured and centered to the tube end of the telescope with nylon thumb screws and felt padding. The clear aperture is made with high quality hand selected and inspected reflective coated glass. This is the highest quality, durable, glass, full aperture solar filter on the market. The sun is viewed in a natural yellowish-orange image. The filter can be used for direct viewing through the telescope or for photography.
This filter is new in the box in plastic. The filter box is foam lined for protection and shock absorption during handling. It is durable enough to store the filter while not in use.

After viewing the sun through a friends telescope I decide to try it myself. I like the glass type and found this filter to be about the best and cheapest. I wasn't disappointed.

Comments about AstroZap Full Aperture Glass Solar Telescope Filters:
I actually expected it to be quite a bit heavier than it is, it's very lightweight, and allowed me to get some great shots of the sun through my Meade LX200. I didn't say it was widely compatible because I only have one scope to try it on, but the shots I took are very nice, very clear, and retain the natural orange color of ol' Sol.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about AstroZap Full Aperture Glass Solar Telescope Filters:
The filter does what it claims, you can indeed look at the sun with your telescope without burning your eyeballs out. It can be interesting on a partly cloudy day too. The clouds appear black in front of the sun.

Comments about AstroZap Full Aperture Glass Solar Telescope Filters:
I use the filter on my telescope for summer viewing since the only star we see for months is our sun! It is great way to introduce kids to our sun and get them interested in finding out more about astronomy.
