The 16-stop, 43mm Solar ND Filter from Tiffen is a solid ND filter with a 65,536x filter factor that provides an 16-stop exposure reduction. Its 4.8 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed while reducing the risk of overexposure. This means you can capture more detailed solar images than might be possible under normal conditions. By also limiting IR and UV light this filter helps ensure color-neutral images, and its multi-layer coating reduces glare.

This filter is designed specifically for photography applications. This filter is not suitable for direct solar viewing with the naked eye, including with optical viewfinders.

Q: 2. I currently have an Orion Spaceprobe 130 ST which I am just learning to use. I am taking an astronomy class which uses Celestron NexStar 5 SE scopes, which I really like. I am sure that I will be buying a NexStar in the next year. I really like the idea of the computer finding objects for me while I am learning the sky. Right now, I am trying to decide between a NexStar 6 or NexStar 8. My major interests are deep sky objects and binary stars. I am not interested in astrophotography. I know the major tradeoffs are aperture and portability. Any suggestions for me in guiding my choice?

A: Honestly I would go with the bigger aperture. Especially since you are going to be shooting some Astrophotography. Personally I would do the 8 Model. It's the better option hands down.

Q: 5. Can I get an adapter or ring for this, so it will work on a Panasonic HC-X900M with 49mm filter threads?

A: Instead if LT35MINI43, we suggest using LT35MINI58 with a 49mm to 58mm step up ring. Using the LT35MINI43 would likely cause vignetting. Don't forget the appropriate lens mount, Canon, Nikon or whatever for the front. Also consider getting a 15mm lens support rig for everything.

Q: 7. Can you move the mount manually to locate objects ( like you would use o adob) and will it still be tracking the object afterwards? thank you

A: Hi,I didnt try that way, But, after calibrating it will take you to the object you are looking for with good accuracy, but you will need to recenter a little bit; then it will track the object keeping it always in the center of the eyepiece.
