Review: Good film - Good filter. Tested on Dec 26 2019 Annular Solar Eclipse.
Review: Got scratched and melted while observing the SUN - I fitted this Celestron eclipse smart filter on a Clestron Astromaster 130 EQ telescope. I observed the noon sun for around 30 minutes..and i found few melted scratches formed on the filter shown above...i cannot use it again.. fortunately i could observe it while the operation..my eyes got saved fortunately...is any compensation possible? I spent 4500 INR to this item..and the entire life time was 30 minutes..in the product menu, there were no warning about the maximum observation time or observing sun conditions etc..and it was a winter afternoon too...

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this fit the celestron 6se?**
A: Yes it will just fine, you will love it.

**Q: Will this fit my 6” newtonian? or will it only fit scs?**
A: While this is probably a perfect fit for a 6" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopt, I use this with my Celestron Omni XLT 150 Newtonian.  I made a slight modification by cutting off two of the three tabs on the back of the filter.  This way the remaining tab will register the filter within the tube and the velcro straps will secure the filter nicely.  (Using all three tabs most likely will not be able to squeeze into your telescope tube.)  Don't forget to leave your finderscope caps ON -- sudden hair loss may occur!

**Q: Will this fit a Celestron c6 (150mm) refractor telescope?**
A: Not sure it is made for SCT ,, BUT from Celestrons website.  Filter diameter (external)184mm  and Filter diameter (internal)174mm  so if you measure the outer diameter and it is between them it should fit.. BUT it is made for SCT telescopes from Celestron not the refractors.  You may have to look for one just built from that model.

**Q: Will it fit the powerseeker 114eq?**
A: If  the filter comes in a 114 mm size then it should work on your Newtonian scope. Mine is for a 2023 mm scope which would make it to big for your 114 size. Good Luck.
