Its 103mm internal diameter is designed to securely mount on any telescope optical tube with an outer diameter between 80mm and 118mm. Using a three-screw locking system and a durable aluminum frame, the SV229 provides a stable, secure fit for viewing sunspots, granulation, and solar eclipses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eISO 12312-2 Certified: Safe Viewing of the Sun\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary function of a solar filter is safety, and the SV229 is built to conform to the ISO 12312-2:2015 standard for direct solar observation. This certification ensures the polymer filter material rejects harmful ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation, allowing you to view the sun without risk to your eyes or telescope optics. It is critical to inspect the filter for any damage before every use to maintain this level of safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdjustable 3-Screw Mount for 80mm to 118mm Tubes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike filters with a fixed diameter, the SV229 features a versatile and secure mounting system.
