Hi Tony,
I've been trying to reply to you for the last hour and a half, but for some weird reason, when I hit Reply with Quote, the quote doesn't show up.

I can see that you would be annoyed with Focal. That filter you got was a disgrace. What I got was a nice 6 or 7" square of aluminium painted white on one side and black on the other. It was connected by a rod to a clamp which exactly matched the outside of the focuser. So that the sun's image projected onto the white square.

It took me a while before I noticed that the 6mm and 20mm Hyguens eyepieces got darn hot as I was projecting the amazing images. But the heat didn't wreck them, and they still work fine (though I bought better ones for it).

Cheers,
Renato
