Review: 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.
Review: Good optic - My husband wanted this ordered so we ordered it. It helps him with his telescope stuff and has astronomy stuff

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Slight room for improvement but a great accessory for my Nexstar 6/SE
*by M***S on October 29, 2023*

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.
