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.

This review is from: 7.17" ID Orion Full Aperture Solar Filter (Electronics)
I really love this filter. You can use you telescope during the day. The sun is interesting. Just remember not to use your spotting scope to fine it! You can use the telescope's shadow to find the sun. It is easy.
