Baader AstroSolar™ film Filter cell constructed from lightweight 18Ga. aluminum and powder coated white. Heavy duty threaded inserts and nylon thumbscrews insure a secure fit.
With AstroSolar™ the Sun appears in neutral white. Other films and some glass filters produce a blurry bluish or reddish Solar image, thereby cutting part of the spectrum. Especially with an orange sun, it is very hard to see faculae regions which are visible predominantly in the blue wing of the spectrum.
Due to it's neutral color balance, AstroSolar enables the use of various color (or interference) filters which allows the observer to concentrate on certain spectral passbands for investigations of different layers within the solar "atmosphere".
Eye safety
AstroSolar™ is essentially free from pinholes, since - other than with even the most expensive glass filters - it is coated on both sides, so that the chance of two pinholes overlapping each other is extremely faint. Pinholes do appear, but to 1 out of 10000 only in optical density 2.5! Baader AstroSolar™ safety film has been approved for eye safety by the National Bureau of Standards in Germany, the PTB. Unlike any other Solar Filter on the market, AstroSolar™ is CE-tested according to EG-Norm 89/686 and EN 169/92 ( notified body 0196). All processes connected to this product have been thoroughly tested. Coatings are inspected constantly for consistency to ensure your eye safety!

Unlike a simple Hartman or Bahtinov mask, the Astrozap focusing cap is a multi-purpose tool which allows for quick 'shutter-like' operation. Just turn the wheel to the open position for focusing, and then turn it again to the closed position to keep the dust out, or to image dark frames with your CCD or DSLR camera.
The focusing wheel can be easily removed and replaced with an off-axis wheel for off-axis viewing, or an off-axis solar filter wheel for solar viewing on larger telescopes.
Simply turn the thumbscrew to the open position, and turn to close. No plastic plugs required, and no tools needed. Made from lightweight aluminum and powder-coated texture black.
Integrated Bahtinov focusing wheel. Allows for quick shutter-like operation. Turn wheel for open or closed positioning. Focusing wheel is easily replaced for off-axis viewing. Made of lightweight aluminum; no plugs or tools required.fDew Heaters- The Heat is On!
Astrozap is pleased to announce the addition of dew prevention heat bands to our product line!
What makes our dew heater band so special?
New printed circuit technology ensures even heat distribution!
Draws only ½ the amount of power versus other brand heaters
Each heater comes with a standard six-foot cord and phono-plug connector for 12-volt operation.
You will need an Astrozap dew controller for a power source.
Other brand controllers are fully compatible.
Ensure even heat distribution. 6-foot cord and phono-plug connector for 12-volt. Draws half the amount of power than other heaters. Requires a dew controller for a power source.Flexi-Heat Dew Shields - The Heat is On!
Until now, standard unheated dew shields could only prolong the onset of dew formation. Depending on your geographic location, a simple dew shield may be all that is required. (Dew shields are also great for blocking stray light from reaching your optics.) However, in moist climates, dew can still creep up on you within a short period and your viewing session is over. Why not add some heat?
Our Flexi-Heat dew shields direct the heat right to your optical tube assembly, thus eliminating any chance of dew formation. Guaranteed!
What makes it work?
The source of heat is a thick film heater manufactured for operation at 12 volts. Sixty-six percent of the surface area is heat emitting - this means more even heat distribution and no localized hot spots or burnouts often associated with resistance wire heaters. Best of all, it won't create heat wave disturbances.
Our Flexi-Heat dew shields come with a six foot phono-plug cable. You will need an Astrozap dew controller for a power source. Other brand controllers are fully compatible.
The Astrozap Flexi-Heat dew shields are made from durable yet light weight ABS plastic and lined with black felt to help increase contrast. A 2-inch sewn neoprene rubber “Mega Grip” material wraps snugly around the telescope optical tube assembly, keeping the dew shield in place, and eliminating any chance of dew formation!

Our flexible dew shields are made of lightweight durable black ABS plastic.
The interior is felt-lined to help absorb moisture and to prevent extraneous light from reaching the optics.
Sewn Velcro strips facilitate quick wrap-around placement onto the corrector plate rim. A two-inch rubber trim also wraps around the OTA to prevent any slippage.
A simple, cost effective way to fight off dewAvailable in a wide range of sizes. Simply wraps around end of optical tube. Rolls up for easy storage. Sewn Velcro strips hold them firmly in place.
