Content: I got this solar filter for my powerseeker 127. For all telescope owners, I really do recommend this as daytime astronomy is about as fun as nighttime astronomy. With this, you can observe sunspots and enjoy solar eclipses without going blind. Although the filmsy look of this filter might cause you to think this tears easily, I have to tell you that it is not true and is in fact very durable. It does not break like glass does and is much lighter. After trying this on my telescope, I can tell you that the images are wonderful and have extremely good contrast. For the price, it is definitely worth it.
Summary: Useful and Durable
