A must-have filter for safe observation of the sun through a telescope without damaging your eyes - optical glass filter fits snugly over your telescope's aperture to block 99.9% of incoming sunlight
Fits Orion Observer 70mm, ShortTube 80mm, StarSeeker 80mm, and AstroView 90mm refractors; Apex and StarMax 90mm Mak-Cass telescopes; and other models
Each Orion telescope solar filter is mounted in a foam-lined aluminum cell featuring three equidistant securing thumbscrews, 4x 1/16" thick adhesive foam tabs, and 4x 1/8" thick adhesive foam tabs for customized friction fit to your telescope
NOTE: Filter inside diameter is 107 mm. (approx 4.10 inches)
All Orion solar filters are designed for use with an adequate friction fit attachment. Thumbscrews should ONLY be used to keep filter securely in place once a friction fit has been achieved
