It seems that Ali's homepage is written only in the language of the access country. I want to access the English page, but it doesn't work.
Try uploading the Change link again. If it doesn't come out in English, I don't know how to do it either.

150mm appears to be the largest.

So pricewise it would not be so far away from the Baader ones, which i would prefer in this aperture area. Because they block until 1400nm, so you dont need an additional erf.

I saw those also while ago but didn't want to ask about it, kind of cheaper than Baader to me, and i can go with the largest size which is 150mm anyway and it will be ok to all my scopes from 150mm and smaller refractors maybe down to 100mm.

I see more products by China that i keep questioning about the quality, i don't want to risk with the sun itself, i can risk with the moon or stars by night, but the sun is different story.

The filter size is sold up to 200mm.It's $1199.
It's cheap, but the ability to reduce heat energy is a bit disappointing. It can be up to 1400 nm, but the seller offers an additional price.
