Description Technical Specs
 

    The StarGuy White Light Solar Filters allows you to photograph sunspots, eclipses and planetary transits with your camera. The design blocks 99.994% of the intense light from the sun and allows you to take photographs of solar eventse. The solar filter is placed in the direct path to the sun. It is the first surface that the sun hits before passing through the telescope or camera.

    The StarGuy thread-in filters display your image with no color tinting as happens with manyglass filters. StarGuy Solar Filters are manufactured using Baader Film. The film is extremely tough and will not break or tear easily. The Baader film has a “wrinkled” surface. This does not affect the quality of the images you see or photograph.

    There are a number of other brands of filters that stretch and smooth out the material, but this will impact the quality of your images. When stretched tight, the filter works like a glass un-coated filter, delivering inferior image quality and safety issues.

    The StarGuy Filter ring is a lightweight aluminum alloy coated with a non-reflective finish. This model of the thread in filters fits the front of 77mm lenses. Please note, for your safety and that of your equipment, never look directly at the sun or point your camera at the sun without the correct solar filter.
