Product Description
Designed to fit snugly over the aperture of your telescope, these optical glass filters block 99.999% of incoming sunlight, allowing you to safely observe sunspots and solar granulation in the Sun's photosphere. The Sun appears in a natural, whitish color. The glass elements are machine-polished and triple-coated with nickel-chromium stainless steel for a scratch-resistant surface. Each filter has three nylon thumbscrews to ensure a snug fit to the front of your telescope or binocular. The thumbscrews complement the press-fit foam lining inside the filter's durable aluminum cell to accommodate diameters up to ¼" smaller than the nominal size. A tight press fit is still required for safe solar viewing. Lifetime limited warranty.

Does the job
By Ethan Walker
Sharp view, nice color. Though for solar viewing a 6" aperture is a little much (you see a lot of turbulence) so I cut it down to a 2.5" with a homemade mask for sharper viewing. If you have a scope that would require this, consider making your own mask and then buying a smaller filter to fit over it.
