| NEW! Solar Filters with built in sun finder!
Our new design has a built in sun finder making centering the sun in your eyepiece very easy. The finder target is visible from both the front and back sides of the filter making centering the sun easy from either end of the telescope. |

As well, we have replaced the filter rims with three tabs that contain a secure threaded insert and a nylon thumb screw, making the filter much lighter without reducing the security of the fit. The main reason we made this particular change is that many telescopes have dovetails or other attachments that interfere with the proper fitting of a solar filter to the telescope. Now the filter can be placed onto the scope so that the three thumb screws always firmly attach to the body of the scope. As well, the tabs extend down far enough to allow the thumbscrews to connect beyond the bevels found on some dewcaps or the corrector plate rings and tube rings of some telescopes, ensuring a very secure connection to the telescope. |  | | |

The filter material itself is the famous BAADER AstroSolar Film. This film has set a new standard for white light filters and gives a very pleasing and high resolution image. The image color is a bluish white. The filters are available in photographic film also.
Constructed of 16 guage aluminum for rigidity. The cells have a brushed finish.

VISUAL FILTERS (ND 5.0)
NOTE: To ensure proper fit of the solar filter you must measure the outside diameter of the front opening of the telescope, binoculars or lens. To convert measurements in inches to metric, multiply your measurement that is in inches by 25.4. For example, a dewcap that is 6.25" outside diameter will be 159 mm (6.25 x 25.4 = 158.75mm)

| R-60 ALUMINUM RINGS |
|
 |
|
Kendrick is now offering a line of finished R-60 Aluminum Rings to our customers who wish to make their own solar filters or create their own Kwik Focus for sharp focus when astro imaging or for visual observing.
R-60 Aluminum Rings include:
- 1 x Powder coated aluminum ring
- 3 x Nylon thumb screws
- 3 x Felt tabs
- 1 x Instruction sheet
All our R-60 rings are powder coated off-white and come with three nylon thumb screws to allow for secure attachment to your telescope. Our rings are built in 10mm increments, from 66mm to 405mm. We also have a ring to fit 435mm to 445mm. To determine which ring you will need, measure the outside diameter of your telescope tube in millimeters (or convert inches to decimal, X" x 25.4 = millimeters) and order the ring that most closely matches your dimensions. If your telescope tube diameter is identical to the widest measurement of the ring, we recommend you go up to the next size. The thumb screws will take up any slack that may exist.

Instructions:
NOTE: Baader Astro Solar Safety Film is not included with the ring and must be purchased separately.

| CARE & CLEANING | |
| It is important to note that pollen granules contain aetheric oil and aetheric oil will dissove optical coatings on any optic, even very expensive optics (not just Baader Astro Solar Film). If your filter accumulates pollen, it should be carefully cleaned off at your earliest opportunity with a very soft brush or blown off with a hand operated air bulb.
The good thing about Baader film is that it is coated on both sides, so pollen accumulation will only affect one side of the filter. Consequently there is no danger to your eyes even if pollen accumalation does damage the coating.
