Levenhuk Solar Filter for 130mm Reflector Telescopes - LEVENHUK

Exciting observations of the Sun await you thanks to the Levenhuk solar filter for 130mm refractor telescopes! This filter allows you to discover all aspects of solar activity and observe faculae, sunspots and the granulation of the photosphere.

The Levenhuk solar filter for 130mm refractor telescopes is made using Baaer Planetarium's special AstroSolar Visual film. This film is capable of blocking 99.999% of sunlight. It completely eliminates any dangerous radiation, thus allowing safe observation of the Sun. Baader Planetarium film has a uniform surface, without bubbles or other defects, which is why the filter creates sharp and well-defined images. The film has a quality comparable to that of a glass filter and offers excellent color rendering. Observed through this filter, the Sun takes on a neutral white color.

How to choose the correct solar filter for telescope

When choosing a solar filter it is necessary to consider other elements in addition to the design of the optics and the aperture of the telescope, since the filter must not only completely cover the objective, but also adhere perfectly to the telescope tube. It is also advisable to secure the filter to the optical tube with adhesive tape, to prevent it from accidentally slipping during observation. The main criterion for choosing the right solar filter is the diameter of the telescope tube/anti-condensation band in relation to the internal diameter of the filter (if it must adhere to the outside of the tube) or to the external diameter (if the filter must be positioned inside the inside the tube). Before purchasing this filter please measure the appropriate tube diameter of your telescope, making sure it corresponds to the values in the Technical Specifications table.

This solar filter can be used with the following Levenhuk telescopes:

• Levenhuk Skyline 130x900 EQ Telescope
• Levenhuk SkyMatic 135 GTA Telescope
• Levenhuk Skyline 120x1000 EQ Telescope

The filter can also be used with telescopes from other manufacturers that have a similar design and the same tube diameter. It is recommended to check the internal and external diameter of the telescope's optical tube before purchasing the filter.

WARNING! Never observe the Sun directly, even for an instant, through the telescope or finder without using professionally made solar filters that completely cover the aperture of the instrument, to avoid permanent damage to the eyes.
