Omegon Solar Filter 150mm
Do you want to observe the Sun and be sure that your eyes and optics are safe? The Omegon Solar Filter 150mm is exactly what you are looking for. This filter from the Basic series offers reliable protection at an affordable price - it is an ideal choice for beginners in astronomy as well as for anyone who wants a practical and functional tool for solar observation.
Design and construction
The filter is mounted in a frame made of quality synthetic material, which provides good shape stability and durability during regular use - both outdoors in the field and in the garden. The outer diameter of the filter is 170mm, while the clear aperture reaches 150mm. This means you can easily fit it onto telescope objectives and dew shields of the matching size.
The frame is designed as a lens filter, which means it fits directly onto the front of the telescope tube or dew shield. This way, solar radiation is blocked before it enters the optics, which is the safest approach for both your eyes and your telescope.
What can you observe?
The Omegon Solar Filter 150mm reduces the intensity of sunlight to a safe level for visual observation and basic solar photography. Thanks to this, you can observe:
- Sunspots
- Faculae

- Planetary transits
There is no risk of damage to your eyesight or to the optical elements of your telescope when using this filter correctly.
