Celestron 94244 EclipSmart Solar Eclipse Telescope Filter – ISO 12312-2 Compliant, Secure Fit with Solar Safe Film, Works with 8” Schmidt-Cassegrain/EdgeHD Telescopes, Black

This product works well. It fits my CPC 800 perfectly. It come with Velcro tabs for safety backup but it fits very positively, snapping in place. The only negative is that it is a fairly thin film of plastic so keep the original box to keep it stored in. If you left it out it could be torn if miss treated. The box fits nicely. Viewing was fine.

The shipping was fast and the filter arrived undamaged. The filter was very easy to use and attached similar to the protective cover that comes with the telescope. The images produced from the filtered scope were very nice and I was happy with them for my first attempt at solar photography. If you have a Celestron telescope, this is one of the cheapest and easiest option that you can buy. I am sure you can make a filter out of film sheets, but this is an out of the box option that is ready to go and attaches easily.

I had tried in vain to find a solar filter for my Nexstar 6/SE for several years, but could only locate 8" filters. Celestron seemed to be perenially out of stock. I really liked the fit of it and think it could work without the included velcro, though I still use them for greatest safety. I wish the cover that was included with my Nexstar fit as snugly (it won't stay in place at all) and I am going to need to find some velcro to hold it on. I would suggest this filter could use one of two possible improvements owing to the fact it is delicate. Either ship it with a fitted case to protect it when not in use, or build it so the telescope cover could fit on it while mounted to the scope. As it is, I had to keep the cardboard it shipped in for storage.

Works as described and allows for capturing nice views and images of the Sun. Rated 4/5 instead of 5/5 for probably a minor non issue but something that i think should be addressed going forward - the uv film/filter material has some rippling towards the edge. This hasn’t impacted the functionality of the filter as far as I can tell so far, but it just bugs me to see visually. Otherwise no complaints. Ive attached images taken using the following: - celestron 130SLT scope - celestron eclipsmart solar filter - celestron edge 25mm eyepiece - svbony 2x barlow lense - images taken with an iphone 17, handheld - partly cloudy day/sun partially obscured by clouds

My husband wanted this ordered so we ordered it. It helps him with his telescope stuff and has astronomy stuff

I didn't bother to use the velcro adhesives as there is a retention springy element to the bezel that naturally grips the telescope. Image quality of the sun is great. The lens is solar foil, so I'll be keeping mine in the cardboard box that it came in. The box is thick enough cardboard and compact enough to reasonably do this for a long time.

The first look through my scope with this filter on changed my life. I couldn't believe I was looking at the Sun close up like that. I could see all the sunspots and it was amazing. I highly recommend this for white light viewing of the sun. The picture was just from holding my phone over the eyepiece. I can't wait to use this for the upcoming solar eclipse in April 2024.

This is one of several products I ordered by mistake. I stupidly thought any 8 inch could fit an 8 inch. I immediately started looking for a new one. Everything was either outrageously expensive or everything in this price range was of terrible quality. So I found a way to rig this one to my telescope anyway. (DISCLAIMER: Do NOT try this at home unless you ABSOLUTELY know what you are doing! The slightest mistake can result in permanent blindness and it's gonna hurt like crazy the whole time it's happening!) That being said, if you own a scope that this solar filter will fit, then THIS is the solar filter you want! (Which is why I chose to keep it). The only solar filters better than this are the high quality glass ones because of their durability and the cost is 3-4 times more. But as long as you take care of this one and don't scratch it, there's no better solar filter in this price range. I would recommend one of those foam pick and pack cases to put it in. Then there's no reason this one won't last a lifetime and there's no need to invest in a glass one.

ISO standartlarına sahip göz koruyucu. Yani güvenle kullanabilirsiniz. Çin'deki kopyaları dan uzak durun.

Fits my C8 perfectly, as expected. It's relatively fragile but I was aware of this before purchasing and am careful handling it as my eyes are at stake. Overall a great product at a good price arrived in time for the partial eclipse this year. One happy amateur astronomer

That it is safe and fits good on the scope.

Muy buena calidad, algo muy importante en éste tipo de artículos, que deben ser bastnate cuidadosos porque está en riesgo la salud de nuestros ojos. Se adapta perfecto al telescopio, tal como la propia tapa. Viene con unas cintas de velcro para estar aún más seguros que no se moverá de su lugar. Ideal para los días que tenemos a nuestra estrella brillando en la mañana, pero luego el clima no nos deja ver las demás estrellas en las noches, así que vale mucho la pena tenerlo.
