Perfect for your ZWO Smart Telescope AP 50/250 Seestar S50
With the Omegon metal solar filter, you can observe and photograph the Sun safely. The filter has been precisely tailored to the tube diameter of the Seestar S50 and can therefore be attached easily yet securely. Compared to filters with plastic mounts, this model is designed for long-term and regular use.
O-rings for a secure fit
The O-rings supplied ensure a perfect fit. Do you change the filter often? No problem: it fits securely every time.
Also suitable for your 50mm binoculars
The filter also works brilliantly with 50mm binoculars such as the Hunter 2.0 and Blackstar 2.0. With a selection of O-rings, you’ll quickly find the right fit for your objectives.
A quick note! As you use binoculars for observation with both eyes, you’ll need two filters: this set includes 2 filters.

This product allows you to perform safe observation of the sun. Here’s how:
- Partial solar eclipse: The moon has not yet completely covered the sun. During this time, you must keep the Filter or protective cover fitted!
- Total solar eclipse:* Once the last of the sunlight has disappeared from the edge of the Moon (“diamond ring”), the filter may be removed. The total phase is brief: just a few minutes. Enjoy it, but remain vigilant: when the “diamond ring” reappears behind the Moon, put the filter back on the telescope or binoculars!
- The same applies to solar observation glasses (special protective glasses for solar observation): during the partial phase, only look at the Sun through these glasses; during the total phase, remove the solar observation glasses.
* Many solar eclipses are only partial. In that case, the protection naturally remains on your telescope or your nose the whole time.
