1. Technical Specifications
- AstroSolar Safety Film is a specially manufactured streak- and blister-free foil only 0.012mm thick.
- The film is manufactured by Baader Planetarium, Germany.
- The base material is not Mylar. The quality of the solar image is immeasurably better than can be achieved by using so-called Mylar "rescue blankets" or similar materials.
- The basic development of this precision film was made in laboratories for nuclear and particle physics. Due to it's absolute homogeneity, the foil attains the optical performance of high quality plane-parallel glass filters.
- High density coatings on both sides of the foil ensure a highly uniform filtering capacity without pinhole effect, resulting in an extremely contrasty
