Photographic or Visual?

You can decide if you want the solar filter with photographic or visual foil when ordering. The photographic foil has 16x more transmission and is intended for stargazers who want to photograph the sun primarily. For observation, a strong gray filter or a polarizing filter and an IR blocking filter are needed.
The Visual Foil, on the other hand, is ready for observation and, of course, photography with typical digital cameras. No other filter is needed, the sun appears in a pleasant and uncolored light.

Variants: Full Aperture or Off Axis

Especially with very large apertures, Off Axis often makes more sense. If an Off Axis solar filter, where only a side aperture is used as a pass-through, is desired, then we always require the diameter of the secondary mirror so that the aperture is not too large.

The Order

Ordering the filters is very simple, please specify the aperture of your telescope and the slip-on diameter of the telescope. The solar filter simply slips over the tube, like a dust cap.
