Zoom in on the Sun’s energetic surface with this custom fit solar filter from
Celestron! Designed to lock into your 8″ telescope, this solar filter offers a

The surface of our closest star is constantly changing as the awe-inspiring
forces that drive it ebb, flow, and swirl; and with the Celestron EclipSmart
Solar Filter for 8″ SCT & EdgeHD Telescopes you’ll be transported to an
up-close view of this dynamic surface! With the longer focal lengths offered
by Celestron’s popular 8″ compound scopes, you can fill
half to around two-third of the stock eyepieces with the Sun. This
allows you to observe sun spots, image the solar surface, and view incredible
eclipses safely, with a film that conforms to the ISO 12312-2:2015(E) safety
standard produced by a NASA recommended solar film supplier. This film renders
the Sun in an orange hue for a more natural feeling solar view.

Please Note: Upon receiving your EclipSmart filter, you will notice
“wrinkles” or “waves” in the film. Waves and wrinkles are normal. Hard
creases, however, are not normal. While EclipSmart film with hard creases is
still safe, the creases may degrade the quality of the image. Always inspect
your solar filter prior to each use. Do not use if there are any puncture
marks, holes, or tears in the filter.
