Solar Discovery 3pc Kit comprises:

1x Full aperture Sol-Vu safe solar filter to fit Meade Lightswitch. 1x Universal Solar Finder 1x Solarmate Solar Observing Shade

The filter comprises a rigid aluminium mounting cell with three attachment screws with specially reinforced threaded bosses that fit over the front of the telescope objective or tube to allow safe, full aperture, solar viewing.

The flexible filter material is tough Mylar based Astro-Solar film by Baader, and allows the telscope to be used to safely observe and monitor white-light solar phenomena (sun spots, faculae etc).

The Astro Engineering Solar-Mate is a clever folding sun shade that fits to telescopes of all sizes and creates a shadow at the eyepiece end of the telescope so that more comfortable observations can be made.

A common source of discomfort when making observations with telescopes fitted with solar filters or other safe solar observation equipment is that, not surprisingly, the sun is always shining when you are observing! And the bright ambient light around the eyepiece makes observing the relatively dim eyepiece view less than ideal.

With the AC667 Solar-Mate in place on your scope you will always have a deep shadow around the eyepiece ensuring a perfect environment for the observer's eye.

AC618 Solar Finder. This cleverly designed finder has two collimatable targets: one permanently fixable, and the other magnetic and repositionable. The finder has a universal mounting platform with self-adhesive strips for permanent attachment. The kit is also supplied with a Velcro strap for quick temporary fitting to the Lightswitch tube.

FREE solar observing guide!

The Discovery kit is supplied with a FREE copy of the Philip's Sun Observer's Guide by Pam Spence that tells you everyhing you need to know about observing the sun. (the publisher's normal price is �9.99). For more info click the special offer link at the top of this page.

PLEASE READ SAFETY NOTES SUPPLIED WITH FILTER.
