Celestron 94244 EclipSmart Solar Eclipse Telescope Filter – ISO 12312-2 Compliant, Secure Fit with Solar Safe Film, Works with 8” Schmidt-Cassegrain/EdgeHD Telescopes, Black

This product works well. It fits my CPC 800 perfectly. It come with Velcro tabs for safety backup but it fits very positively, snapping in place. The only negative is that it is a fairly thin film of plastic so keep the original box to keep it stored in. If you left it out it could be torn if miss treated. The box fits nicely. Viewing was fine.

My husband wanted this ordered so we ordered it. It helps him with his telescope stuff and has astronomy stuff

I had tried in vain to find a solar filter for my Nexstar 6/SE for several years, but could only locate 8" filters. Celestron seemed to be perenially out of stock. I really liked the fit of it and think it could work without the included velcro, though I still use them for greatest safety. I wish the cover that was included with my Nexstar fit as snugly (it won't stay in place at all) and I am going to need to find some velcro to hold it on. I would suggest this filter could use one of two possible improvements owing to the fact it is delicate. Either ship it with a fitted case to protect it when not in use, or build it so the telescope cover could fit on it while mounted to the scope. As it is, I had to keep the cardboard it shipped in for storage.

I have included images from the Oct 2023 solar eclipse as seen in 80% annularity. Two are inside my telescope and another is utilizing the filter as a “sun shade” to view the sun in the sky as is, without a telescope. Worked beautifully. The only cons to this filter, which I believe is just part of purchasing a solar filter, is it is very thin film (unlike glass options), seemed to easily get a smudge, and did not come with a case to protect it (I opted to keep the original box.) was very sturdy on my telescope and I did not feel the need to utilize the Velcro straps - which don’t hurt as added protection as you don’t want it to come off and blind you or damage your scope.

Great for looking at the sun.

Works well. Pricey. It locks on nicely

Bought one even though I have A Meade LS-8. Fit perfectly. Nice and snug don't even need the Velcro. 1/2026

fits well and quality is good. Have to be extra careful handling it since it’s a mylar type of film.

ISO standartlarına sahip göz koruyucu. Yani güvenle kullanabilirsiniz. Çin'deki kopyaları dan uzak durun.

L’éclipse de 2024 a été fantastique à regarder

That it is safe and fits good on the scope.

Do not buy this one for the sole purpose that it will be delivered by Yodel who are always late. Look for the same product from a different seller or do not use express delivery here. But the product itself is great so I gave 5 stars! Works very well and easy to use

I knew that it probably wouldn't fit my Skywatcher 8" but I had to try as a could not get one specifically for my model. But of course it didnt fit. The build quality is really good and I like the velcro to secure it further. Though it is ridiculously expensive.
