You can easily make a suitable and safe filter holder.......
thousand oaks have a very good reputation when it comes to solar filters, certainly not inferior to baader. I'd much prefer a screw on filter than using film and a DiY attachment method!

Thanks for the link.
OIC!
yw! I didn't know either.

It seems like photographic ND filters are not really recommended, so will pass on that idea and save the pennies for a thousand oaks filter!

Thanks guys.
