arg0naut Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Any recommendations for a soler filter for the Celestron cpc 800. Will be attempting some imaging using the Celestron Neximage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianb Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Buy a sheet of Baader Solar Film & mount it according to the instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzeus Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Ditto that. It's great stuff - just watch for the odd pinhole appearing over time. I made my solar filter using some plant pot plates Not my idea, but a brilliant one. Stores away safely in another two plates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamespels Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Agreed - used by all the best people!(apologies to all plagiarised parties - couldn't resist!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Notice too that the filter material is slack. Take care not to stretch it and don't bother about the ripples, the material is so thin that they don't make any difference to the filter's performance.
