Kendrick Solar Filter with Built-In Sun Finder - Choose Your Filter Size

What a concept... Solar Filters with built-in Sun finder!

The design of the Kendrick Visual Solar Filter with Solar Finder has a built-in Sun finder making centering the Sun in your eyepiece very easy. The finder target is visible from both the front and back sides of the filter making centering the Sun easy from either end of the telescope.

What's more, Kendrick has replaced the filter rims on the Kendrick Visual Solar Filter with Solar Finder with three tabs that contain a secure threaded insert and a nylon thumb screw, making the filter much lighter without reducing the security of the fit. The main reason they made this particular change is that many telescopes have dovetails or other attachments that interfere with the proper fitting of a solar filter to the telescope. Now the filter can be placed onto the scope so that the three thumb screws always firmly attach to the body of the scope. As well, the tabs extend down far enough to allow the thumbscrews to connect beyond the bevels found on some dewcaps or the corrector plate rings and tube rings of some telescopes, ensuring a very secure connection to the telescope.

The filter material of the Kendrick Visual Solar Filter with Solar Finder itself is the famous Baader AstroSolar Film. This film has set a new standard for white light filters and gives a very pleasing and high resolution image. The image color is a bluish white. 

NOTE: To ensure proper fit of the solar filter you must measure the outside diameter of the front opening of the telescope, binoculars or lens. To convert measurements in inches to metric, multiply your measurement that is in inches by 25.4. For example, a dewcap that is 6.25" outside diameter will be 159 mm (6.25 x 25.4 = 158.75mm)
