Good product.
This product works well. It fits my CPC 800 perfectly. It come with Velcro tabs for safety backup but it fits very positively, snapping in place. The only negative is that it is a fairly thin film of plastic so keep the original box to keep it stored in. If you left it out it could be torn if miss treated. The box fits nicely. Viewing was fine.

Slight room for improvement but a great accessory for my Nexstar 6/SE
I had tried in vain to find a solar filter for my Nexstar 6/SE for several years, but could only locate 8" filters. Celestron seemed to be perenially out of stock. I really liked the fit of it and think it could work without the included velcro, though I still use them for greatest safety. I wish the cover that was included with my Nexstar fit as snugly (it won't stay in place at all) and I am going to need to find some velcro to hold it on. I would suggest this filter could use one of two possible improvements owing to the fact it is delicate. Either ship it with a fitted case to protect it when not in use, or build it so the telescope cover could fit on it while mounted to the scope. As it is, I had to keep the cardboard it shipped in for storage.

Works well! Allows for great imaging of the Sun!
Works as described and allows for capturing nice views and images of the Sun. Rated 4/5 instead of 5/5 for probably a minor non issue but something that i think should be addressed going forward - the uv film/filter material has some rippling towards the edge. This hasn’t impacted the functionality of the filter as far as I can tell so far, but it just bugs me to see visually. Otherwise no complaints. Ive attached images taken using the following: - celestron 130SLT scope - celestron eclipsmart solar filter - celestron edge 25mm eyepiece - svbony 2x barlow lense - images taken with an iphone 17, handheld - partly cloudy day/sun partially obscured by clouds

As described
fits well and quality is good. Have to be extra careful handling it since it’s a mylar type of film.

Good Value Worked Well for the Eclipse
The shipping was fast and the filter arrived undamaged. The filter was very easy to use and attached similar to the protective cover that comes with the telescope. The images produced from the filtered scope were very nice and I was happy with them for my first attempt at solar photography. If you have a Celestron telescope, this is one of the cheapest and easiest option that you can buy. I am sure you can make a filter out of film sheets, but this is an out of the box option that is ready to go and attaches easily.

High scatter, low contrast
The solar filter material on this Celestron version scatters light much more than expected. So the Sun appears to have a stronger halo than expected and the image contrast is poorer as a result. Can find sunspots, but there is no detail. The Thousand Oaks solar film material performs much better. I assumed that the Celestron filter used the Thousand Oaks material, but apparently not. Photo shows Celestron result on left and Thousand Oaks Optical on right.

Do not buy this one for the sole purpose that it will be delivered by Yodel who are always late. Look for the same product from a different seller or do not use express delivery here. But the product itself is great so I gave 5 stars! Works very well and easy to use

Muy buena calidad, algo muy importante en éste tipo de artículos, que deben ser bastnate cuidadosos porque está en riesgo la salud de nuestros ojos. Se adapta perfecto al telescopio, tal como la propia tapa. Viene con unas cintas de velcro para estar aún más seguros que no se moverá de su lugar. Ideal para los días que tenemos a nuestra estrella brillando en la mañana, pero luego el clima no nos deja ver las demás estrellas en las noches, así que vale mucho la pena tenerlo.
