Baader filter film-making solar filter.

Hello.

Just wondering what a home made solar filter is like,and what viewing results are given.Using this product

http://www.astroshop.com.au/products...sp?id=MAS-018F

My two refractors have a lens cover with a little hole and cover,in which this paper be attached on the inside of lens cover.

Just wondering what the views are like of sun? Was thinking of ordering a sheet this morning,and also making some covers for camera lens and binos for the up coming venus transit,and to take photo of planes passing the sun disc(seen two 747's pass in last three days with eclipse glasses jjj sent me (thanks jjj)

Any advice on getting this solar project up and running,would be most helpful.

Thanks Chris
