Rated 5 out of 5

Very useful and easy to use filter

I ordered this in preparation for the April 8, 2024 solar eclipse. I've done some practicing with it to nail down my exposure and am quite pleased with the results. This filter produces a white image of the sun using a daylight white balance. The filter material that I used for the 2017 eclipse results in a very orange image. Everyone will have their preference, however the white does seem to give more options as you can easily warm it up on the computer if you want the orange look. Assembling the filter is not difficult but does take some time. Don't be afraid to improvise a bit if you think it will make it easier or better for you. For example, instead of the regular glue the instructions call for, I used a hot glue gun. I felt that this would result in a quicker and stronger connection. I feel that the results are as good as I expected and the filter looks good.

Perfect for White Light Solar Viewing and Photography

Replacing filter film that wore out. Great White Light views of the Sun. One note: It would be nice if the Adorama Website used the same measurement conventions for the A4 (full page) and half sized sheets.

This premium quality film, measuring approximately 140 x 155 mm, comes complete with do-it-yourself instructions and a cutting template, ensuring a custom fit for your telescopic equipment.

Crafted for telescope quality performance, the AstroSolar Safety Film boasts an Optical Density (OD) of 5.0, making it exceptionally safe for visual solar observation when used in conjunction with additional optics, and for capturing stunning solar images. Its high optical density ensures that it blocks out a significant amount of sunlight, providing a safe and clear view of the sun's surface.

The precision of this film is unparalleled, consistently achieving strehl ratios between 94 to 96 percent in interferometric tests. This level of performance is comparable to high-end Fluorite Triplet Lenses from renowned manufacturers like Carl Zeiss or Astro Physics, ensuring that you don't compromise on sharpness or contrast even at high magnifications.

With a legacy spanning over 25 years, the AstroSolar ECO-Size Safety Film is the only solar filter material on the market that maintains the integrity of the optical wavefront. This means that even when paired with long-range optics, the film allows for high magnification without degrading the image quality of the solar surface.

This film is crafted from the same high-grade material as the proven AstroSolar Safety Film 5.0 in A4-size. Due to popular demand, it is now available in a more compact and economically priced ECO-size. It's an ideal choice for outfitting small telescopes, finders, binoculars, spotting scopes, and camera lenses with a professional-grade solar filter.
