The EclipSmart solar filter instantly transforms conventional Celestron 8 "Schmidt-Cassegrain (8" SCT) and Celestron 8 "EdgeHD telescopes into white light solar telescopes.

The anti-scratch protective polymer produced by American Paper Optics allows direct solar observation and complies with ISO standards for eye protection from sunlight.

The shape of the plastic support is obtained directly from the protective cap of Celestron 8 ”telescopes to allow a perfect fit without the risk of sudden filter leakage. Each filter includes two Velcro safety straps and four Velcro stickers to secure the solar filter even more securely.

EclipSmart sunscreens are equipped with “Solar Safe” technology which provides maximum protection from harmful solar radiation, including IR and UV light and filters 99.999% of visible light. Celestron Solar Safe technology is SAFE and GUARANTEED for direct solar observation and has been independently tested by SAI Global Assurance Services. Products with "Solar Safe" technology comply and meet the transmission requirements of ISO 12312-2, filters for direct observation of the Sun, EN 1836: 2005 + A1: 2007 (E) for an E15 filter for observation direct sunlight and, AS / NZS 1338.1: 2012, eye protection filters.
