5/12/2021 11:51 AM Baader Solar Continuum Filter (540nm)

I have bought this filter but not yet tried it. Soon I will do imaging of the sun with my Celestron Neximage 5 + APO 2x Barlow and my OTA, Celestron C8" XLT.
I have also bought your AstroSolar Safety Film and will use it in front of the C8".
Is this enough for imaging of the sun or will it be too warm and harm my equipment?
Friends of mine have said that it is also needed to add an extra IR filter to reduce the heat, but this is something I haven't read from you in Baader. Maybe it's some amateur's ideas without the correct knowledge.
I have bought many things from you and think you are one of the best optic manufacturers in the world. I really trust your skills and your products.
So before I start imaging the sun, it's better to ask you for good advice instead of destroying my equipment. :-)
Regards,
Bo Sundin aus Schweden

Thanks for your kind words. We can confirm that AstroSolar Safety Film (OD 5.0) in FRONT of your optics is suitable of protecting your instruments and eyes. No need for an additional IR-filter. Please also check out www.astrosolar.com for more informational pages as well as FAQs.

5/12/2021 11:16 AM Baader U-Venus-Filter (350nm)

Do you think that Celestron Neximage 5 with 2X APO Barlow and this 1 1/4" filter in an OTA, Celestron C8" XLT will be sensible enough to capture Venus cloud structures?

Is Answered? Yes (1 answer)

Answer rated: 0

We have not tried this combination but the U filter is very dark wich lead to very long exposure times even with ideal cameras. Furthermore the camera you mention has a colour sensor with bad UV sensitivity. Therefore we doubt that you will create nice images of the Venus clouds with this combination.

5/1/2021 7:01 PM 2" BDS-SC Baader Diamond Steeltrack® Focuser

Am i right in thinking, to rotate the entire focuser housing after installation to align with the OTA, its the 6 black flat head screws that loosen to allow this to be achieved ?

Is Answered? Yes (1 answer)

Answer rated: 2

Yes, by setting the screws not too tight, you have a slipping clutch. You can also replace one of the screws with a thumb screw (it is a M5 thread, if I remember correctly).
