Solar filter holder for Sky-Watcher 90mm refractor
Do you want to observe the Sun safely with your Sky-Watcher 90/900 telescope, but do not want to deal with complicated DIY solutions? This holder is exactly what you are looking for. It is a precisely made bracket designed specifically for the Sky-Watcher 90mm refractor tube, allowing you to attach a solar filter quickly and reliably - for example the popular Baader Astro Solar Folie - directly in front of the objective lens.
What is included and how it works
The holder is sold without a filter - it is a mechanical bracket with a pre-made opening that matches the tube diameter of a 90mm refractor. You place your chosen filter film inside the opening yourself. The most commonly used material is Baader Astro Solar Folie, which is one of the most trusted options for safe visual and photographic solar observation. The result is a firm and stable filter mount that will not slip even when you move the telescope or change the position of the tube.
Designed specifically for Sky-Watcher 90mm refractors
The holder is made specifically for Sky-Watcher 90mm refractor telescopes, meaning models with the 90/900 specification. Because it is precisely sized to fit the tube, the filter sits firmly in place without any improvised modifications or glue. For astronomers who want to observe sunspots, planetary transits across the solar disk, or simply do regular solar viewing, this Sky-Watcher 90mm solar filter holder is a practical and safe solution that saves both time and frustration.
Why a proper fit matters for solar observation
Observing the Sun places strict demands on your equipment - any compromise in how the filter is attached can have serious consequences for your eyesight. This is why it is always better to use a component made specifically for your telescope rather than a universal or improvised solution. With this holder you can be confident that the filter stays exactly where it should throughout your entire observation session.
Recommended combination
If you do not yet have a filter film, we recommend pairing this holder with Baader Astro Solar Folie, which is available in various sizes and densities for visual or photographic use. The combination of a quality holder and the right film will give you a safe and enjoyable solar observation experience for a long time.
