Got it for the eclipse. Did an excellent job on capturing the shots...right up until the clouds moved in 3 minutes before totality :P Eh, whatcha gonna do. Still, the filter did a great job, and I'm sure I can use it again.

Discover the transformative power of the 70mm Adjustable Solar Filter, a high-quality, durable accessory designed to enhance your celestial observations. Crafted with SolarLite solar film from Thousand Oaks Optical, this filter offers the superior optical quality of glass, combined with the benefits of an impregnated polymer.
Unlike filters using Mylar film that produce a pale white image, our Adjustable Solar Filter delivers a natural yellow-orange solar image, providing a more authentic and vivid viewing experience. This filter is designed to withstand the test of time, ensuring it will never develop pin holes or scratches that could compromise the filter's integrity and let in damaging light.
Constructed with a machined aluminum fixture, this solar filter is both sturdy and lightweight, ensuring long-lasting performance without adding unnecessary weight to your telescope. Its flat surface stands out in comparison to other thin film filters that often have wrinkles and creases, ensuring a smooth, unobstructed view of the sun.
This versatile filter is adjustable and compatible with most 70mm to 90mm telescope tubes, as well as some camera lenses. It boasts an inner diameter ranging from 84mm to 106mm and a clear aperture of 70mm, making it a flexible choice for a variety of optical equipment. Please note that the telescope is not included with this filter.
Enhance your solar observations with the 70mm Adjustable Solar Filter, the perfect tool for observing sunspots, prominences, and other solar phenomena while protecting your telescope's optics from direct sunlight.
