Thousand Oaks Type 2+ glass solar filter

I'll be honest - as much as I know how safe these are, I still feel VERY nervous looking at the Sun, so, apart from using it twice, that is it.

These fit the Taks with a 145mm dewshield (TSA-102, FS-102, FC-100 old model, FSQ-106 all models etc), or any similar sized dewshields (or fit thicker felt to the periphery and fit it to smaller diameter dewshields).

Condition is excellent - no scratches, no pinholes, no cracks. Will be sent in a sturdy pizza box

New - if you can find one since they are discontinued - is $89 US, excluding post.

Selling mine for $75 AUS posted

Once a month bump.

I may just add some more felt and put it on my FSQ-85, so if you want it, don't be shy

Inner diameter 145mm.

You can add more felt or foam to reduce the diameter to fit other scopes.

It'll fit. Just push as its the felt that provides the friction, not the aluminium cell.
