I can't seem to find any for my z8 specifically. The orion one's I found seem to only fit that brand.
I did find this from telescope plus but I'm not sure which one would be the best fit for mine.
EDIT:
Or can I just as easily use this material safely and rig something up?
I got a sheet of filter on amazon from Thousand Oaks.
