Who said you have to be in the dark to do astronomy! Turning your binoculars to the Sun is fun and educational when you have protective full-aperture solar filters installed. Watch the march of giant sunspots, the clouds of glowing vapor in the photosphere, and solar "granulation" detail. But be sure to protect your precious vision with safe Orion solar filters! Looking at the Sun without properly installed solar filters, even for an instant, can permanently damage your eyes.

Superior to Mylar

These full-aperture optical glass filters deliver superb views of the Sun, without risk to your eyes. While more expensive than Mylar filters, Orion solar filters provide better contrast, a more natural yellow-orange — color rather than blue — and are more durable.
The glass elements are machine-polished and triple-coated with an advanced nickel-chromium stainless steel alloy for a scratch-resistant surface. The filter passes only a fraction of the incoming light, rejecting harmful ultraviolet and infrared radiation.
Each filter is mounted in an aluminum cell that slide-fits over the objective lenses of the binoculars.

I purchased a set of solar filters for my 25x100mm Binoculars a little over a year ago and I have not been dissapointed. The ever changing pattern of sunspots never gets old! It has given me the great opportunity to enjoy astronomy day long. The overallconstruction of these filters is superior. The safety screws give you that extra peace of mind while observing. If taken care of they should last a lifetime.

Favorite viewing location:??Any dark sky, or cloudless sky for the Sun.
Favorite object to observe:??All.
Yes, I recommend this product!

I got the 3.40" ones for the 15 x 70 Orion Resolux binoculars..and the sun appears as a nice yellowish orange circle in which solar spots are very easy to see.. I set them up and had my relatives look though them and they all though it was really neat...The sun is going to be very active now reaching its peak in 2012 in which scientists are saying most likely will cause lots of problems for us due to solar flares...Im really glad I got these, its so much fun looking at the sun seeing new sunpots each day..
