Safety:
Celestron Solar Filters with Baader AstroSolar foil provide full protection agains harmful UV and infrared rays. UV is completely absorbed and thermal radiation is reflected by 99.999%. The amount of light that enters the telescope is equal to the brightness of the moon.
Glass filters can break or suffer fine spots with high transmission letting UV and IR pass because they are mostly coated at only one side. The Baader foil is coated on both sides offering double security. And what is more, the foil offers some flexibility and high resistance against ripping. Breaking is absolutely impossible. The cell is very lightweight and made of weather proof plastic. As long as the proper size is chosen, optimal fit to the telescope is guaranteed.
