saxon 130mm Telescope Solar Filter

The saxon 130mm solar filter will allow you to view the Sun and it's activity in safety. See sunspots, observe eclipses, partial and full also the transit of Venus across the Sun.

Telescopes should never be used to observe the Sun without a solar filter. Due to the great deal of heat and light emitted from the Sun, observing the Sun without a solar filter will cause irreversible damage to your eyes.

The specialised coating on 130 mm solar filter enables clear and natural yellow-orange image of the sun without any distortion. It is the perfect accessory for those wanting to study the Sun's surface in detail. The Saxon 130mm Solar Filter is compatible with all telescopes with 130mm aperture.

Any telescope can observe the Sun in white light by using a suitable front-mounted solar film filter.

Be sure to get these from a dedicated astronomy retailer rather than attempting to improvise a filter yourself – the safety of your eyes is paramount.
