The day after E-day I bought my first starter telescope. I was able to make a solar filter for that unit with the remaining material on hand. So far it's been a real learning experience and I am gaining knowledge each and everytime I go out.
So glad we had invested in the lens for our camera to take pictures of the solar eclipse. We got beautiful pictures. Others products we and others in our group used were disappointing. It came fast and in perfect condition. Would buy from them again.
The solar filters and solar glasses from Seymour Solar are very excellent quality and excellent workmanship. They are very helpful and have great packaging. Their people are very courteous and friendly. And they are very reasonably priced, especially for the quality of product they produce. In this day and age when individuals and companies put out counterfeit copies of solar glasses that endanger the public, it is greatly appreciated that there are proud, integrity based companies like Seymour Solar out there.
Seymour Solar you saved my trip. I had purchased 3 filters from other well known manufacturers, but had them classified as unsafe by Amazon. I was so happy to see the sizes I needed available on your web site. You rapidly shipped them to me, and I was off to S.C., and finally ended up in Tennessee. The eclipse was AMAZING! Can't wait for 2024, where your filters will be put to use once again. Thank you for a fine product and great service.
I ordered a Seymour solar filter sheet for two small spotting scopes a few weeks prior to the 2017 eclipse. That gave me enough lead time to design and construct custom filter holders for each unit. Several tests were conducted in advance of the event to check for any problems. None were found.
Once I understand the whole process better and get more time under my belt I plan on purchasing a more expensive telescope.
The filters all worked perfectly for the eclipse. We had stunning views of it from near Idaho Falls and got great pictures and views through the binoculars and telescope. I really liked the orange color of the sun through the Seymour filters, we saw other peoples filters and they produced a white image, not nearly as nice.
We intend to be fully prepared to view the next total eclipse in 2024 and their solar filter material will be with us all the way.
The solar filter purchased worked 100% as advertised which permitted our small group to safely view the eclipse from start to finish.
Bought slip-on filters for binoculars and telescope and threaded filters for 2 camera lenses in preparation for the eclipse. The sizes for the bins and scope were right at the high end of the appropriate slip on filter sizes so, as suggested, I picked the next larger sizes. These both ended up too big to be locked on by the screw alone. I then discovered that there were felt spacers provided to "glue" inside the filters, opposite the screw, to center the filter on the lens. The instructions glibly said "glue" them in. It did look like they might have peel off self adhesive backs but I couldn't separate the backing from the felt. I called on a Friday to get better instructions but no answer and left a message, no call back. Called again Monday and finally got someone - office closed Friday - it would have been good to say that on the message. Turns out that the felts are peel off self adhesive and eventually I have them installed. With the thick felt installed the screw secures the filters snugly in place on both scope and bins. I have used all filters to look at the sun and they seem to work well. Just a bit annoyed by the poor service and documentation about felt installation.
