The first look through my scope with this filter on changed my life. I couldn’t believe I was looking at the Sun close up like that. I could see all the sunspots and it was amazing. I highly recommend this for white light viewing of the sun. The picture was just from holding my phone over the eyepiece. I can’t wait to use this for the upcoming solar eclipse in April 2024.

Nice filter, to bad I had to order it from the USA (was waiting for months in Europe). Kind of expensive with shipment, but I found the image quality better then my previous own cut baader foil. Perhaps baader would be better if you use additional filtering.This Celestron filter is very good for viewing and imaging and has a nice fit on my Celestron CPC800

The lense felt safe and is really easy to take on and off with the Velcro included. The lense did feel fragile, if you were to drop it, it would probably break and wouldn’t be safe to use anymore. I got really good views of the recent annular eclipse also.

Fits my scope. Snug but not too tight. Celestron wins but I love my Meade ACF.

Used on 150-600 lens and works perfect.

A near perfect fit for my Celestron 130EQ. Image quality is good.

I had tried in vain to find a solar filter for my Nexstar 6/SE for several years, but could only locate 8″ filters. Celestron seemed to be perenially out of stock. I really liked the fit of it and think it could work without the included velcro, though I still use them for greatest safety. I wish the cover that was included with my Nexstar fit as snugly (it won’t stay in place at all) and I am going to need to find some velcro to hold it on. I would suggest this filter could use one of two possible improvements owing to the fact it is delicate. Either ship it with a fitted case to protect it when not in use, or build it so the telescope cover could fit on it while mounted to the scope. As it is, I had to keep the cardboard it shipped in for storage.

Picture it… Arkansas… 2020.. a moron points his Nexstar 8se at the sun and puts his phone at the eyepiece. He puts some eclipse glasses between the lens and the glasses… and they melt.. and burn the phone camera and make an insurance claim stating “I’m a welder and some hot metal fell upon my phone camera”… This is the point that I realize why I need a solar filter. I have tested it, it’s ready for October 14 in San Antonio. I gave it 5 stars for night vision, but a solar filter is the absolute worst for night vision.. it’s literally like 5% of the total light but I feel bad giving it 1 star

This is one of several products I ordered by mistake. I stupidly thought any 8 inch could fit an 8 inch. I immediately started looking for a new one. Everything was either outrageously expensive or everything in this price range was of terrible quality. So I found a way to rig this one to my telescope anyway. (DISCLAIMER: Do NOT try this at home unless you ABSOLUTELY know what you are doing! The slightest mistake can result in permanent blindness and it’s gonna hurt like crazy the whole time it’s happening!) That being said, if you own a scope that this solar filter will fit, then THIS is the solar filter you want! (Which is why I chose to keep it). The only solar filters better than this are the high quality glass ones because of their durability and the cost is 3-4 times more. But as long as you take care of this one and don’t scratch it, there’s no better solar filter in this price range. I would recommend one of those foam pick and pack cases to put it in. Then there’s no reason this one won’t last a lifetime and there’s no need to invest in a glass one.
