  Just what I needed  Bought this to use with my Celestron Nexstar 6SE. Fits perfectly and just replaces the front cover. The velcro straps hold it tightly in place so no chance of mishaps. Super fast delivery too.  (05/06/2024) Andy - Farnham, Surrey

  Amazing product  This solar filter is shaped the same as my Celestron’s front cover so it was really easy to fit. I bought it for my NexStar 6 SLT and finally used it this afternoon to view the sun through it. The image quality is really good with a slightly yellow tint which give good contrast. Fully recommended.  (22/11/2020) Abi - Essex

  Great product  This filter is very well made and a precise fit on my Celestron 6se telescope. The view of the sun is amazing'. The added security of the velcro straps gives you complete confidence of the filter when in use .but you must treat the filter gently when handling I recommend this product  (06/06/2020) Nellyrail - Nottingham
