Good product.
This product works well. It fits my CPC 800 perfectly. It come with Velcro tabs for safety backup but it fits very positively, snapping in place. The only negative is that it is a fairly thin film of plastic so keep the original box to keep it stored in. If you left it out it could be torn if miss treated. The box fits nicely. Viewing was fine.

Slight room for improvement but a great accessory for my Nexstar 6/SE
I had tried in vain to find a solar filter for my Nexstar 6/SE for several years, but could only locate 8" filters. Celestron seemed to be perenially out of stock. I really liked the fit of it and think it could work without the included velcro, though I still use them for greatest safety. I wish the cover that was included with my Nexstar fit as snugly (it won't stay in place at all) and I am going to need to find some velcro to hold it on. I would suggest this filter could use one of two possible improvements owing to the fact it is delicate. Either ship it with a fitted case to protect it when not in use, or build it so the telescope cover could fit on it while mounted to the scope. As it is, I had to keep the cardboard it shipped in for storage.

Works well! Allows for great imaging of the Sun!
Works as described and allows for capturing nice views and images of the Sun. Rated 4/5 instead of 5/5 for probably a minor non issue but something that i think should be addressed going forward - the uv film/filter material has some rippling towards the edge. This hasn’t impacted the functionality of the filter as far as I can tell so far, but it just bugs me to see visually. Otherwise no complaints. Ive attached images taken using the following: - celestron 130SLT scope - celestron eclipsmart solar filter - celestron edge 25mm eyepiece - svbony 2x barlow lense - images taken with an iphone 17, handheld - partly cloudy day/sun partially obscured by clouds

Works well. Pricey. It locks on nicely

As described
fits well and quality is good. Have to be extra careful handling it since it’s a mylar type of film.

See the sun
Works as expected. I can now look through and see the sun safely. It is a bit fragile to handle as the protective film is just that.

Wrinkled and loose.
I haven’t observed the sun with it yet. Seems fine, no holes, delivery was on time etc. However the film is very loose and has wrinkles. Not sure how much this will affect the images but I’m sure it’s not going to help. The product seems fairly cheap and flimsy.

Gözünüzü koruyun
ISO standartlarına sahip göz koruyucu. Yani güvenle kullanabilirsiniz. Çin'deki kopyaları dan uzak durun.

Fits like a glove
Fits my C8 perfectly, as expected. It's relatively fragile but I was aware of this before purchasing and am careful handling it as my eyes are at stake. Overall a great product at a good price arrived in time for the partial eclipse this year. One happy amateur astronomer

Excelente filtro solar.
Muy buena calidad, algo muy importante en éste tipo de artículos, que deben ser bastnate cuidadosos porque está en riesgo la salud de nuestros ojos. Se adapta perfecto al telescopio, tal como la propia tapa. Viene con unas cintas de velcro para estar aún más seguros que no se moverá de su lugar. Ideal para los días que tenemos a nuestra estrella brillando en la mañana, pero luego el clima no nos deja ver las demás estrellas en las noches, así que vale mucho la pena tenerlo.
