Skywatcher 250mm Solar Filter (Filter cell + Baader Solar film)

[Rogering (Stuart)]

Hi guys,
I'm thinking about purchasing the Skywatcher 250mm Solar Filter (Filter cell + Baader Solar film) to use on my 10" GSO dob, but the following pic (link) shows no attachment screws.......... hopefully I can use Velcro to attaching it to the scope....
anyone else used this filter?
On the specs, it shows: Size 60 mm (Outer Diameter 275 mm) I'm not sure what the size 60mm is all about....

A little velcro would be perfect , some people just use a couple of short strips of good old Duct tape . but on the 60mm I dont know , maybe the width of the outer ring?
But you wont go wrong getting one .

60mm... Some of these online websites are notorious for typos and erroneous information. AT are bad at it also.

Sorry to bump up an old thread!
but I’m looking at getting the same solar filter for my GSO 10” dob, did it end up fitting alright?

Hi there,
I didn't end up buying that filter. I ended up purchasing Baader solar film and making a cardboard cover for the objective with a 80 mm opening to place the film across that opening, works really well, let me know if you want some pictures.
