8"x8" Solar Filter Sheet for Telescopes, Binoculars and Cameras

Works , I was looking for a white light type filter . I don’t care for the color this leaves . I used it for months and didn’t ever find a film that wasn’t the orange color. Today looking at my gear and installing a solar finder scope ( I highly recommend) seen my eyepiece filters . I felt kinda silly when I put in the blue and it left me with a white color sun . The orange shows a lot and the yellow was nice , I prefer the blue and may pick up different shades of filters to see leaning to blue for solar. I have been ignoring filters and it was like a new toy . The film is thin , I put mine between plexiglass so it won’t get messed up and just use it as a dust cover . I just drille n d an hole in the end of existing aluminum dust cap for my refrigerator I couldn’t find a 102 cap until after I did the mod of course . ( I don’t know if putting it between the plexiglass was a good idea or not but works great for me I recommend following manufacturers safety guidelines ) , it’s my plane and solar scope mainly. I use a sct for most other viewing, Works great thin film I used my wife Cricut machine to cut the size I needed but it would cut easily with scissors . If you don’t like the color this leaves the sun try using eyepiece filters. I was 100% happy with the product function, with using filters it’s like getting a whole lite more . I am sorry I run on when I’m reviewing something, I’m not fancy I just tell it how it is . So this is just my user opinion nothing technical about it . Use filters to change look but not needed for the function if filters are pointed out in other reviews I missed it and wish I had known sooner. Take care everyone and stay safe.

Work great and you get the same filter quality as solar eclipse glasses. Used them to make filter lenses for my camera ahead of the Apr 8, 2024 solar eclipse and you can easily see sunspots with them as well!

I'm taking one star out of it just because it collects way too much dust from the air, although it's package includes very clear cleaning instructions. The filter itself works pretty well and does the job. I made myself a proper adaptor (out of cardboard and hot glue) to securely attach it to my 130mm aperture telescope (I spent nearly 30 minutes to make it) and its very effective. I strongly advice doing the same instead of using any rubber bands or cutting the filter. I'm also attaching a couple pictures of the adaptor I made, the filter usage on the OTA and a nice first pic of the sun (taken w/ iPhone X, celestron's 24 to 8mm zoom eyepiece and a phone adapter).

I've been using these filters for more than 10 years, they are great value for money and do a nice job. You have to store and treat them carefully, keeping the surface clean and free of fingerprints, dust, smears, and defects, but if they are damaged the cost is so low you can replace the filter many times for the cost of a similar glass filter. They work very well for infrared photography with an infrared-converted camera, the Sun is more clear at IR wavelengths since the 'seeing' or atmosphere is much better at long wavelengths. Here's an image I took with a Canon M200 converted to full-spectrum, with a 900mm lens and R72 infrared filter with the Thousand Oaks film.

This was much better than I thought it would be. I build a cheap cardboard tube out of Duck tape and glue. For what this is it is a good DIY. I was worried that I bought a film too small for a 6" scope. This 8" fit just fine with NO extra though. I do wish I bought a larger sheet and made some for binoculars etc. I took some pictures with my Nexstar 6se and a Cannon T3i and they look great! I wish that there were some sort of instruction though. For instance there is a shiny side and a flat black side. I didn't know which side to face the sun and I picked the shiny one? Perhaps I did it wrong. It worked great regardless. I ended up adding some industrial strength Velcro to allow me to flip it over if for some reason I need to. If anyone knows which side goes up please let me know. Perhaps it doesn't matter, then again perhaps the shiny side bounces some of the heat away from the telescope. ;-) Once I made this I really didn't see the value of buying something for nearly $100.

Lo conseguí específicamente para utilizarlo con mi telescopio, y dada la calidad y efectividad para cumplir con la tarea para la cual está hecho, terminé utilizándolo también con mi cámara y mis binoculares. Gracias a ello pude registrar un hermoso eclipse anular que fue visible en mi país. Y mis equipos y mis ojos siguen como nuevos gracias ello.

Als ich diese Folie bestellt habe wollte ich mal testen ob sie die Sonne wirklich in dem Farbton darstellt der hier gezeigt wird. Ja es ist so Das die Folie sehr dünn sein soll kann ich leider nicht bestätigen die Folie von Baader ist definitiv dünner. nachdem ich genug Zeit hatte bis die Lieferung kam habe ich noch eine kleine Bauanleitung als .pdf gemacht da es bestimmt vielen genauso geht wie mir die ewig überlegen wie kann ich die Folie halbwegs dauerhaft verarbeiten bei dem Preis sollte sie ja ein paar Jahre gute Dienste leisten Bei meiner Lieferung ging leider bei der ersten Bestellung bei der Post etwas schief sie kam nie an der freundliche Service dieses Anbieters schickte die Folie aber nochmal raus diesemal mit ID Tracking Nummer und knapp 2 Wochen später war sie da hoffe es hat Euch weitergeholfen LG Andi

First use I could see lots of sunspots. Very happy I now can use my se6 celestron in the day ! Thanks

Super, montage sur du carton résistant un peu fastidieux mais très bonne observation une fini, à voir dans le temps et prévoir de bien le protéger car la feuille est très fine.

Ery happy with this product. Used for 2024 full eclipse. Worked perfectly.
