The glass solar filter is produced by Spectrum Telescopes. It works with telescopes that have a dew shield that is 6 1/4" - 6 5/8". It will work with our current version of the SVX127D, SVX130T, SVX130T-R Raptor and SVX140T-R Raptor telescopes. Measure your dew shield on former models of Stellarvue telescopes to see if this will fit.
Clear Aperture = 126 mm
From the manufacturer: These Solar Filters, are safe glass solar filters that allows as much of the light through as possible through the telescope safely. When there is instability, you put a mask over the filter’s end that will reduce the aperture effectively.
There is an aluminum cell with this premium solar filter that is centered and secured to the end of the telescope tube by a nylon thumb screw and using a felt padding. It is made from hand selected glass that is of high-quality glass with a reflective coating that has been thoroughly inspected. This high-quality glass is durable, providing the market a full aperture solar filter. The image of the sun being viewed has a yellowish-orange natural look when directly viewed through a telescope or for photographs.
