Celestron solar filter

[arrturro]

Hello

Just got my new celestron eclipsmart solar filter. After opening I notice how poor quality is it. There are some marks on a surface of the film and on the back it looks like they apply too much of the glue and it came out. I wasn't expecting that poor quality from celestron. I i know that I can buy sheet of the baader filter an make one myself for half of the cost. 

I don't know if they all filters same or its just mine suffer from bad quality control. 

If there are some other owners of that filter ( 8") please let me know if yours filters are the same and I'm just too fussy about that. 

It's still going to work but if you spend £60 you expect to be made properly. 

Thank you.

That's not good... I ordered the very same eclipsmart... must check it carefully as I haven't used it yet
