The StarGuy White
Light Adjustable Solar Filters allow 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 so you can take photographs of solar events or view
them safely through your telescope for a short period of time. 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.
StarGuy's slip-on
solar filters are designed to give you the best imaging or viewing experience, with the
ease of simply attaching the filter onto the front of your telescope or camera
lens. When you image through the StarGuy Solar Filter, the sun appears in
neutral white delivering an exceptional observing experience with more detail
than from other filters. Some films and glass filters produce blurry reddish or
bluish solar images, which in turn, cuts part of the spectrum. With the StarGuy
Solar filter photographers will see detail and sharpness across the field of

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. The
“wrinkles” may actually improve the contrast of your imagesThere are a number
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.

ring is a lightweight aluminum alloy coated with a non-reflective finish. This
model of the adjustable filter fits the front of a telescope with an outside
diameter of 105-135mm.
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.
FAQs
• Be
sure to examine the filter before each use to assure there are no holes or
tears.
• Cover
your finder scope. Do not use this if you have no filter on the
finder scope. Covering it ensures that no one looks through it
accidentally.
• Wait
for at least 15 minutes after affixing you filter to ensure that the filter and
your equipment equalize temperature.
•
If using an open tube telescope, cover the open section to ensure no light
enters the sides which can damage your
instrument and the filter.
