Questions & Answers
With this filter, the sun appears to be white.
Baader Planetarium is a German company that has been producing astronomical equipment for over 50 years.
This is brand-new material, as it comes in a manufacturer's package. It isn't dated, and there's no indication that it matters. I made a filter out of a portion of one sheet for the 2017 eclipse, and there has been no degradation in the two years since then.

Selected User Reviews For Baader Planetarium AstroSolar Safety Film Visual, 7.9x11.4 (20x29cm)
Given the scarcity of recent reviews, I'd like to state unequivocally that the Baader solar film is outstanding. Yes, it's pricey, but it's a bargain when compared to a commercial off-axis solar filter, which would set me back 145 dollars for my scope. This film is simple to cut and construct a housing for the scope, and because I'm working off-axis, I have extra for binoculars or a second scope. br>br>Another point raised by others was that the film came in a flimsy box. It came in a large cardboard box and was well protected when I got it. There are no folds or creases in the fabric. Overall, you can't go wrong with this solar film, and the sun's clarity is breathtaking!.
It was extremely difficult to work with, but it would have been fantastic if I had been able to complete the construction of the telescope solar filter. Just as I was about to drop the cardboard frame that I had constructed for it, the film wrinkled up into a hopeless wad of plastic. However, I was working in less-than-ideal circumstances (inside my car, just hours before the eclipse). Maybe if I had built it on my kitchen table, where I had more space and less time constraints, the end result would have been better. It would have been a satisfactory result.
Prepare for the Total Solar Eclipse! Today was the day of delivery, which was a day ahead of schedule. Solar Len's Cover is easy to make thanks to the detailed instructions. To ensure that no bare skin came into contact with the material, I used Nitrile gloves (as instructed). In less than three hours, I completed three covers, and the material appears to be strong despite its "extreme" thinness. It's the coating that you need to be cautious of. I looked at the Sun through the first Solar cover's material. This orb is a lovely shade of natural color. Perfect!! Ready to go to Hopkinsville, Kentucky?.
This is a popular choice for solar filters that are both safe and effective. The sun appears to be bluish in color. It's also known for having a scratched reflective coating. It must be kept. mounted with a shield Before you use it, check it out. Any pinholes that form should be covered with black paint.
This is an excellent film for making a solar filter for your camera. Sun (or very bright light) images are white, not a fake orange as with other filters. Colors are permitted and displayed. See close-up photos of a 100 W fluorescent bulb with color strips, both with and without a filter, taken at a distance of about 3 feet. A photo of the sun was also included. The image is unaffected by the fact that the film will have curves when it is installed. I like it, but it's pricey - That's why I gave it a four-star rating rather than a five.
I haven't tried the product yet; it was just delivered today. The way it was crushed took me by surprise. It came in a very soft package, with the film and literature crammed in tightly. In the accompanying literature, there is a piece of tissue paper, a piece of thin foil material, and a piece of white plastic film, which I assume is the product; they are all folded up. Because this is my first time using this material, some assistance would have been appreciated; however, all of the literature they sent with it is in German.
Although it is significantly less expensive than purchasing commercial solar filters, the assembly process can be time consuming. br>br>Unfortunately, my first attempt at photographing the sun occurred on a day with a lot of atmospheric distortion, so the image isn't crystal clear, but the color is vibrant.
It was a little pricey, but it was well worth the money! After doing some research, this is what was recommended as a shielding film to go over our cameras in order to film/capture the 2017 Eclipse. Our own film-making instructions were included in the instructions. The instructions for making covered lenses to go over our existing lenses were clear and concise, and we were able to make a couple without difficulty. This stuff turned out to be a fantastic product; the photos and film we shot turned out even better than we had hoped!.
