T.O. - OFF-AXIS Glass Solar Filter TYPE 2+ (for Celestron 8" Newtonians and Orion Sky Watcher 8")
Viewing the Sun without proper equipment is dangerous and can result in blindness but SAFE solar observing is easy with the correct solar filter. White Light Solar Filters SAFELY produce an amazingly high-resolution image of our Sun for both visual and photographic use.
Full aperature solar filters produce optimum viewing in scopes less than 10" aperture, BUT larger aperture scopes may be compromised by daytime atmospheric turbulence which can be magnified by the aperture size. For 10" and larger scopes Thousand Oaks Optical offers superb OFF-AXIS (reduced aperture) solar filters to reduce the effects of atmospheric turbulence on the viewing experience.
Thousand Oaks Optical TYPE 2+ OFF-AXIS White Light Solar Filters are made with high quality, hand selected glass, and coated with exclusive Solar II Plus to produce the most durable glass filter on the market. Great for both visual and photographic use, with white light you can very plainly see sunspots and activity in both the umbra and penumbra regions, granulation, and occasionally a white light solar flare shooting off the limb.
Choosing the right glass solar filter for your telescope is as simple as knowing the outer diameter of your telescope's optical tube. Perfect fit is then achieved with self-adhesive felt strips to make sure your glass solar filter stays securely in place at all times. As always, our expert staff is available to assist you in selecting the correct solar filter for your system.
