Description
I created a Sun Filter that should fit most 150mm Reflector Telescopes.
I´m using it with my SkyWatcher 150/750 Explorer
-Get yourself a filterfoil and cut it out with 140mm diameter.
-Print out the two parts
-Put the foil in the outer ring and push the inner ring in gently. Pay attention to not touch the foil with your fingers as it might damage it
-Maybe add some layers of tape around the outer ring (as shown in the pictures) to garantee a tight fitting (The Filter should not fall out while looking at the sun this is very DANGEROUS!)
-Enjoy the view;)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never look directly at the sun especially through a telescope without a FIlter.
Only buy a certified sunfilter foil!
Cover your finder scope while pointing at the sun.
Risk of blindness
Don´t use it if it doesn´t fit perfectly to your Telescope.
Use it at own risk.
