Product Details

Meade's all new Glass White-Light Solar Filters are the perfect accessory to transform your telescope into a SAFE way to view the Sun! Available in 10 different sizes for viewing and imaging the sun in white-light. Our aluminum housing, reflective helios solar glass filters block 99.999% of incoming light for protection and are ISO certified, guaranteeing safety with correct use. Easy attachment with three screws (included).

Warning: Meade White-Light Solar Filters are only intended for closed tube telescopes and should not be used with open truss designs such as the Meade 10, 12 and 16" LightBridge Dobsonians. Incident sunlight allowed in by the open tube design could cause damage to the telescope optics and on these designs will cause instant and irreversible eye damage potentially including permanent blindness. A light shroud is not sufficient protection from harmful solar rays.

This 5.75" (146mm) Glass White-Light Solar Filter is compatible with Meade's LX70 5", LightBridge Mini 114, and StarNavigator NG 114 telescopes.

Important note for ETX125 owners: This filter will fit only some ETX125 Observer telescopes. Before ordering, please measure the outside diameter of your telescope tube to ensure that it is 143mm or smaller. If you have a 146mm outside diameter tube, then this filter will not fit. This filter will also not fit other, older ETX125 models such as the EC and AT versions.
