Solar filter from Levenhuk for 105 mm MAK telescopes

The Sun is one of the most interesting and exciting things to observe in the sky. But it is important to remember that for solar observations it is essential to always use a protective filter. Before observing the Sun it is necessary to place special solar filters in front of the telescope lens that reduce the intensity of sunlight to a safe level.

Solar filters from Levenhuk for 105 mm MAK telescopes are made of a special Planetarium AstroSolar visual observing film that reduces harmful ultraviolet radiation and allows detailed observations of the solar surface. This filter has no internal defects or bubbles and the final image quality is comparable to that of flat-glass-parallel filters. The solar filter from Levenhuk for the MAK 105 mm telescopes will help you make solar observations over a long period of time. It will also allow you to see granulation and sunspot structure. The observed image of the Sun will be neutral white.

How to choose the right telescope solar filter

When choosing a solar filter it is necessary to consider other factors in addition to the optical design and aperture of your telescope, as the filter must not only fully cover the objective lens, but also fit snugly into the microscope tube. It is also recommended to secure the filter to the optical tube with adhesive tape to prevent it from moving accidentally during observations.

The main factor in choosing the right solar filter is the diameter of the telescope tube/shield, which should correspond to the inner diameter of the filter (in case the filter is to be fitted to the outside of the tube) or to its outer diameter (in case the filter is to be fixed to the inside of the tube). Before purchasing this filter measure the tube diameter of your telescope and make sure it matches the values in the specification table.

This solar filter is suitable for the following telescopes from Levenhuk:

Telescope Levenhuk Strike 1000 PRO
Telescope Levenhuk Skyline PRO 105 MAK
Telescope Levenhuk SkyMatic 105 GT MAK Telescope SkyMatic 105 GT MAK

This filter can also be used with telescopes from other manufacturers with identical design and tube diameter. We recommend that you check the inner and outer diameter of your telescope's optical tube before purchasing the filter.

cAUTION! Never look directly at the sun, even for a moment, through the telescope or finder without a professionally created filter that completely covers the front of the instrument, as permanent eye damage may result.
