Solar Filter on a MAK

[MorningMajor]

Can I use this safely on my Celestron 127SLT - I thought I'd read somewhere that you shouldn't use MAK's for solar viewing? Or was I dreaming it??

If fitted correctly, the Baader Solar film is 100% with any telescope.

( I think you may be thinking about solar filters like the Herschel wedge solar filters which are ONLY suitable for refractors)

I use an Astrozap filter on my ETX105. This is only way to biew the Sun with this type of telescope. The sunlight needs to be filtered before it enters the telescope.
