Solar Filters

The Solar Filters below allow you to safely observe the sun by placing the filter in front of the telescope lens/mirrors. The light of the sun passes through the filter and then enters the telescope to be magnified. This is the only safe way to observe the sun through a telescope. Filters that are screwed into the eyepiece are not safe and should never be used as the light from the sun has already passed through the telescope and magnified before reaching the filter. Under the magnified light, the filter can crack.

 

Thousand Oaks Solarlite Solar Filters

After years of R&D we have developed a new solar film that has the optical quality of glass with the advantages of impregnated polymer. Will never develop pinholes or scratches that can let in light and ruin a filter. Other advantages: lightweight and does not require re-balancing tube assembly, will not break, consistent yellow-orange solar image, even density with any aperture, flat surface compared to other thin film filters that have wrinkles and creases. Will not tear or puncture. Stronger than any other solar film on the market.
