Sky-Watcher / Baader Safety Solar Cap

[Forgey (Paula)]

Has anyone had any experience with these? Am looking at getting one for my Saxon ED100 for the upcoming transit of venus.

Or should i just get the Badder AstroSolar film and make my own? http://www.astroshop.com.au/products...sp?id=MAS-018F

Hi Labros, I ended up getting the pre-made filter as it was more convenient for me and it was the same price at the solar film.

Below is an image of the filter on my ED100 and some images i took of the transit of venus with it. The only think i adjusted was the color in PS as the filter is a white light filter.
