New 28mm Blocking Filter.

[Solar]

Hi all, I have been battling with a crook BF30 filter for some time.
Thanks to some very experienced advice form Merlin66 I bit the bullet and did a mod to the sucker.
These things are not cheap to replace, and thanks to Ken I sorted the whole issue for less than 100 bucks.
See what you think.
First image is what I had.
Second is what I now have. ( Tutorial to come )
Next are the images from first test.

Hi Ralph, Nothing wrong with those images - they look great and show a lot of interesting detail. Which camera? Thanks.

wow thats chalk and cheese with the filter, was it moisture that killed it? the mod looks good - this was the coranado 90?

It was the Blocking Filter that I use on the SolarMax90.
It is some sort of fungus growth that gets in between the glass layers.
