Quick delivery.  Works as intended. Already checking out sunspots in preparation for the eclipse

Eclipse ready

This filter worked great for the solar eclipse.

Just What I Needed

Great product

See Celeron 8 review

Misordered 8 and returned for 6. Product looked and fit as expected. Whole experience was top notch.

Celeron solar filter

Excellent for looking at the sun safely. Only issue have to look at the shadow to point at sun , but that?s not the filters fault which works awesome.

Works great

Of all of the available merchants I tried to deal with in purchasing a telescope within the last 6 months, Adorama had the most availability for me to get what I wanted the quickest; and their continued care to customers shows in the manner they work around them!!

More satisfied than I anticipated in every area!

Produced good images for solar white light photography, but thin 1000 Oaks glass filter is a bit better.  This filter more affordable.

Will be trying my solar filter for the first time on June 10th, weather permitting !!!

Looks nice, will let you know how it does

Back ordered

I received the Celestron Eclipsmart Solar Filter for my SCT scope. The filter delivered quickly and was well packaged. I am looking for an opportunity to use it on the scope but visually looking through it at the sun indicates it will work very well. Highly recommended.

Celestron Eclipsmart Filter

This solar filter works great! I bought it to replace one I have from a different company. It was a risk but well worth it!

Very Impressed

Fits my 8SE perfectly, just like the cover that came with it. One brief look at the sun, nothing to see but it does filter as it should. Now I'm ready for the next eclipse!

Perfect fit!

I have only used this once, it was a great fit to my Celestron 8” Telescope, we got a nice view of the sun, I cant wait to use it again.

great fit

Celestron"s Solar filter is the best on the market and at a reasonable price.
Fits my Celestron 8 inch perfectly.

Celestron"s EclipSmart Solar Filter

It works well. We hope to watch the transit of Mercury on the 10th but if it is overcast, we still can view sunspots.  Unfortunately there are none right now.

solar filter

Great filter! It gives the yellow/orange color that we are all used to from the Sun. ... Would recommend.

Nice filter to have...

I can take absolutely beautiful pictures of the sun.  It amazing that great star is so close to us.

Outstanding photos of the Sun

Solar filter, wow!

Quality service! Arrived before I presumed!Recommend as the best quality fit Solar Filter for my Celestron VX6.“More than a Camera Store"…True it Is.Thank You.

excelente service from your store and very happy whit the sun filter good quality

good product

I enjoyed making my own solar filters for telescopes and binoculars last summer prior to the total eclipse, but for my nice Celestron EdgeHD OTA the proprietary solar filter with the bezel that clicks right into the telescope is really nice. Looks sharp. I tracked the sun all day soon after the filter arrived, and it handled the heat well.

Celestron Solar Filter

It is always satisfying when a product fits and does what it is advertised to do, two features you can not take for granted these days.

Fits as Advertised

Works great for the money, seems like same cap as stock celestron 127 eq but with the filter added along with a screw top and velcro to leave it on.

workw great

Filter worked great at the last solar eclipse in August of 2017.

Great Solar Filter

This is not a glass filter so keep your expectations realistic and you can have some fun.

great for looking at sunspots and eclipses

Love that I now I can see the sun, have not had a chance to used yet.

Excited to use

I purchased this item to go it with Celestron NexStar 8SE telescope. It was precisely what I needed and was extremely useful during the solar eclipse. Now, after the eclipse, I use it regularly when looking at the sun and keeping track of the sun spots. It is a well made product, solid and may last a few years.
