Description of SolarLite Telescope Celestron Schmidt Cassegrain

236mm9.312" SolarLite Filter for 203mm8.00" instruments. This filter should fit the following models: Celestron and Meade 8" Schmidt Cassegrain and instruments of similar outer diameter. (Will not fit the Meade Light Switch 8" S/C due to the OTA arm). Part number S9187. Please read carefully: 236mm9.312" is the diameter of the filter. The filter fits like a cap by friction. To be absolutely sure that the filter will fit, please measure the outer diameter of your instrument and make sure that it is not larger. SolarLite filters have the optical quality of the glass with the advantages of impregnated polymer (Thousand Oaks Optical Black Polymer). The sun will appear in a natural yellow-orange color when viewed through your telescope using this filter. This is a high quality product of Thousand Oaks Optical (Arizona), a manufacturer of safe solar filters for over 30 years. Words of the producer: "Stronger than any other solar film on the market. Safe for 15 years.". WARNING: ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE FILTER IS WELL ATTACHED TO THE TELESCOPE/BINOCULARS/CAMERA. IN CASE NECESSARY, USE STICKY TAPE TO SECURE IT. NEVER OBSERVE SUN WITHOUT A PROPERLY ATTACHED FILTER.

Starry Nights Are Even Better Now!

According to my experience, the SolarLite Telescope is a great addition to MY photography gear. The optics are clear and the image quality is phenomenal. The SolarLite filter is a lifesaver during bright days. The only con is that it's on the heavier side but the quality is worth it. .

Pros
  • The SolarLite Telescope Celestron Schmidt Cassegrain provides excellent views of the night sky, with high-quality optics and a sturdy construction.
Cons
  • Too long to wait

Essential Eclipse Gear

This is essential equipment for an eclipse. It's worth it. It fits perfectly on my Celestron 8" SCT, with three felt pads included. I haven't had the opportunity to use it in exceptional conditions or with a lot of sunspots, but in the conditions in which I've used it, it's perfect. It is my eighth sun filter (one of which was a 10" lens number) and it's about as good as any of them. By the way, when attaching the felt pad (sticky on one side, felt on the other) I have parts that are 120…

Pros
  • SolarLite filters have the optical quality of glass with the benefits of an impregnated polymer (Thousand Oaks Optical Black Polymer). The Sun is a natural yellow-orange color when viewed through a telescope with this filter.
Cons
  • Expensive
