Hyperion ND5 White Light Solar Film Sheets — DIY Solar Filter Material (Viewing & Photography)
Description
DIY solar filter material (ND5) — Hyperion ND5 white light solar film sheets reduce sunlight by 99.999% for safe solar viewing and photography when properly mounted and undamaged. Designed for builders creating custom front-mounted solar filters.
