Does any one know how to find slip-on find a solar filter for my Canon 12x36IS binoculars? I picture a cardboard frame of about 5 14" x 2 3/4" or 13.3 mm x 6.5 mm with the mylar all across. Thanks!


Mile High Astronomy sells solar filters that fit over each lens of your binoculars.  I bought these for the 2017 eclipse and will use them again for the eclipse next month: https://milehighastro.com/collections/solar-accessories/products/solar-filter-black-polymer?variant=44192509821187.

Be sure you order the correct diameter for your binoculars.  They have both text and a video explaining how to measure properly.

You can order the same or similar solar filters from Amazon, but I prefer to support the local guys!
