Celestron 8" SCT Solar Filter - Farpoint ISO & CE Certified Safe Eclipse Viewing

Safely observe the Sun, solar eclipses, and sunspots with our Farpoint Super Simple Solar Filter - designed for reliable safety and clear white-light views.

Solar viewing safety is paramount, which is why we use Thousand Oaks Optical Solar-Lite film. This high-quality film blocks 99.999% of harmful UV and IR radiation while providing sharp solar images. It is fully ISO 12312-2 and CE certified to meet international safety standards for direct solar observation.

Our Super Simple design keeps costs low without compromising quality or safety. The robust, lightweight cell mounts securely using super-strong Velcro straps - virtually eliminating risk of accidental detachment from bumps, wind, or handling. Once attached, it stays firmly in place and requires deliberate effort to remove.

Perfect for visual observing and basic astrophotography of solar features. Includes instructions for safe use.
