Baader AstroSolar ASTF ClearWhite OD 5.1 – mounted telescope solar filter

This front-mounted filter is designed for white-light solar observation and photography. The AstroSolar ClearWhite Safety Film OD 5.1 is mounted without tension and produces a neutral, clear solar image. The temperature-compensating ASTF housing is designed to help keep the film free from stress as temperatures change.

This version has a 280 mm filter aperture. Check the actual outside diameter of the telescope tube or dew shield before ordering and confirm that it fits one of the inner or outer clamping ranges below. Select the appropriate 10 mm or 20 mm centring pins. The clear aperture is stated separately in the table; compare this measurement with the requirements of your setup before ordering.
