Baader Planetarium AstroSolar Safety Film Visual, A4 Sheet 20x29cm

Baader Planetarium's Astro Solar Film makes viewing the sun safe and fun. The safety film projects white light views of the Sun that are unparrell to any other solar filters or material out there.

The film is set against a dark background, free of haze and scatter that is common when using typical 'mylar' films or those inexpensive glass filters. With a price as low as $36 for film on telescopes 8" or smaller, there really is no other product on the market delivering such performance at a great price.

While pinholes do appear the ratio is 1 out of 10,000 only, in optical density 2.5! To assure the utmost safety of the AstroSolar products, Baader runs significa
