• Inner diameter of the mounting: 137 mm

The fixture works with the following telescopes:

• Sky-Watcher R-120/600 OTA / AZ-3 / EQ-3-2, R-120/1000 OTA / EQ3-2 / EQ-5

How to attach the Baader Planetarium solar foil to a plastic frame?

We need: solar foil, a frame, a sharp knife (or scalpel), double-sided tape, scissors and cotton gloves will come in handy.





(we glue small squares of double-sided tape to the inside of the binding - quite thickly and sloppily, they won't be visible anyway)



(glue the foil - preferably with cotton gloves so as not to leave fingerprint marks - relatively evenly, but do not stretch it; folding the foil is more advantageous than stretching it; cut out the excess foil at the outer edge of the binding with a sharp knife)





The filter is ready - we can now put it on the front of the telescope and start observing. It is worth remembering that the foil ensures safety, but the additional use of eyeglass filters - lunar ND (neutral density), polarizing, color or Baader Solar Continuum filters can additionally reduce the brightness and increase the contrast.
