Baader 5.0 OD AstroSolar Telescope Filter for 100mm Telescopes
Baader AstroSolar Safety Film Filters are diffraction-limited solar neutral density filters encased in a temperature-compensated cell. This design ensures extreme safety and protection against the typical stresses solar films endure while maintaining excellent optical quality across a wide temperature range from -30°C to +50°C.

Overview
This AstroSolar filter enables safe solar observation and photography with telescopes having apertures between 90-110mm, as well as camera lenses. Velcro safety straps, pads, and large centering bolts with rubber grips are included to securely attach the filters to your telescope. The bolt slots feature printed index scales for fast and repeatable adjustment. The white outer ring rejects infrared light and has raised edges along the inner and outer circumferences to protect the film.
The film itself is repeatedly cemented onto an injection-molded ring, with a substrate that has the same thermal expansion properties as the AstroSolar Filter material. This free-floating film-carrier ring is held onto the aluminium frame with a fibre-reinforced plastic holding ring for maximum security against cell breakage. The aluminum frame has a cutout on one side to facilitate use with binoculars.
Included are two sets of 38mm-long centering bolts (three 10mm diameter and three 20mm diameter), along with three safety straps with glue-on pads.
*Please ensure to read the instructions carefully when attaching and using any AstroSolar Filters for safe use.
