Baader Planetarium 80mm AstroSolar Spotting Scope Filter

Be prepared to experience the Sun like never before with the Baader 80mm AstroSolar Spotting Scope Filter, a pinnacle of innovative and high-quality astronomical equipment. This filter is meticulously crafted to preserve the unparalleled optical quality of the diffraction-limited AstroSolar Safety Film, ensuring that your solar observations and photography are both safe and stunning. The Baader AstroSolar Safety Film OD 5.0 is the heart of this filter, renowned for its ability to deliver a clear and detailed view of solar phenomena. Unlike many ready-made filters that compromise image quality by stretching the material, the AstroSolar film in this filter is mounted stress-free.

This crucial detail maintains the film's precision and allows it to function as a high-precision optical window, complete with the characteristic slight ripples that signify a lack of distorting stress. The durable, user-friendly design features a clear white IR-rejecting front ring with robust raised edges, ensuring the delicate solar filter material is safeguarded from any potential damage by sharp metal edges. The innovative no-tool mounting system, complete with centering bolts, is designed to accommodate a wide variety of mechanical tube diameters, offering versatility and ease of use. The filter's non-rotating sliding fasteners, crafted from premium aluminum, are equipped with machined indicators for precise adjustment.

An index scale beside each adjustment slot allows for quick and repeatable positioning on different telescope tubes. For added security, black sliding washers are included to block any stray sunlight from passing through the filter cell. To ensure the utmost safety and stability, the filter comes with three security straps featuring Velcro-adhesive pads. These straps are a testament to the filter's user-friendly design, providing peace of mind even in the face of unexpected gusts of wind. Each filter cell is clearly marked with a warning text, urging users to read the instructions before use, emphasizing the importance of safety in solar observation.

The filter arrives in a protective cardboard gift box, perfect for safe storage and transportation. The Baader 80mm AstroSolar Spotting Scope Filter is an efficient and professional solution for all spotting scopes, amateur telescopes, and camera lenses, supporting magnifications up to 120x.
