Celestron Eclipsmart Solar Filter - Nexstar 8SE

Great quality. Custom fit for telescope… no Velcro straps. Part in stock, website very good, easy to navigate. Fast shipping, and filter packaged very well to avoid shipping damage. Very satisfied with my purchase. Waiting for the April 2024 solar eclipse to really try it out! 😀👍

Description

Solar Warning
  • Only observe the Sun with ISO-certified eye protection, such as the filter found in this EclipSmart product. Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or a non-filtered optic. Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
  • Never tamper with or remove the permanently placed glass filters in this optic. Doing so is dangerous and will void your warranty.
  • Never leave your optic unsupervised. Make sure an adult who is familiar with its correct operating procedures is with your optic at all times, especially when children are present.
  • Never remove your eye protection when looking directly at the Sun during partial phases of a solar eclipse.
