ND5 White Light Telescope Solar Filter – Hyperion Solar Film
Description
View the Sun safely in brilliant detail with our premium Hyperion ND5 White Light Telescope Solar Filter, designed for front-mounted use on telescopes. Each filter features reflective-coated Hyperion Solar Film in a precision-machined aluminum cell, providing bright, high-contrast views of sunspots, eclipses, and transits while blocking 99.999% of sunlight for complete optical and eye safety.
Key Features
Safe Solar Viewing – ND5: Blocks 99.999% of sunlight to protect your eyes and optics during every solar observation.
Premium Optical Performance: Hyperion Solar Film delivers crisp, neutral-white solar images with excellent contrast and minimal distortion.
Secure Slip-On Fit: Aluminum cell slips over the optical tube and tightens with nylon thumb screws and felt pads for centered, stable alignment. Fits most telescopes 50–187 mm in aperture.
Designed for Telescopes: Ideal for astronomers and astrophotographers seeking bright, accurate white-light solar views.
The ND5 White Light Hyperion Solar Film reveals the Sun’s photosphere in crisp white-orange tones, displaying sunspots, limb darkening, and surface granulation in vivid clarity.
Safety Note
For front-mounted use only on optical instruments. Not for direct eye viewing or use as eclipse glasses. This filter safely reduces solar intensity to ND5 levels for telescopes, cameras, and spotting scopes. ISO 12312-2:2015 applies only to handheld and eyewear solar viewers; therefore, this filter is not certified under that standard but is manufactured to meet ND5 safety requirements for optical filters.
Warranty & Returns
Backed by the Seymour Solar Lifetime Warranty and a 30-day return policy on unused, unopened items. For details, visit our Warranty & Return Policy page or contact info@seymoursolar.com.
FAQ
How do I choose the right size? Measure the outside diameter of your telescope’s optical tube and select the filter that matches your measurement range.
Can I use this filter during a solar eclipse? Yes — when securely mounted over the front of your telescope, it provides safe, continuous ND5 white-light viewing throughout all partial phases.
How does Hyperion Solar Film compare to Helios Glass®? Hyperion Solar Film is lightweight and portable, ideal for travel and quick setup, while Helios Glass® offers maximum durability and slightly warmer tone for permanent observatory use.
