Solar filter holder for Binorum Genesis 76/700 telescope
Want to observe the Sun safely and comfortably? This holder is exactly what you need as your first step. It is a precision-made filter holder - supplied without filter material - designed specifically for the Binorum Genesis 76/700 AZ2 telescope. It features a pre-prepared opening for quick and easy mounting of solar filter material, such as the popular Baader Astro Solar Folie. Thanks to the precise fit on the telescope tube, there is no need for improvised solutions - you can focus entirely on what matters: observing the Sun itself.
How it works
The holder serves as a solid mechanical carrier for your chosen filter material. The filter foil itself is not included - the holder is sold separately so you can choose the type and optical density of the filter according to your own needs and preferences. The pre-prepared opening makes it easy to cut and secure the filter material, while the assembled unit fits firmly and reliably over the front objective of the telescope. The result is a stable and safe solution that stays in place even when using the telescope out in the field.
Safety first - what every solar observer should know
For astronomers who are just starting out with solar observation, it is important to know that a correctly fitted solar filter placed in front of the telescope objective is the only safe method for visually observing our star. The filter must always be positioned at the front of the optics - never behind the eyepiece. This holder ensures that the filter stays exactly where it should be throughout the entire observing session.
Perfect fit for the Genesis 76/700
This solar filter holder is designed exclusively for the Binorum Genesis 76/700 AZ2 model. Thanks to this specific focus, a precise fit is guaranteed without any modifications. The recommended filter material is Baader Astro Solar Folie in the following optical densities:
| Optical density |
Intended use |
| ND 5.0 |
Visual solar observation |
| ND 3.8 |
Solar photography |
Both variants can be fitted into the holder without any issues.
