I only know the black polymer stuff from solar glasses (like the ones sold at the IceInSpace Shop), but have never seen it on a telescope.

Steffen, I haven't used Baader, however this stuff is thicker, stronger, 1/3 of the price & has a 15 year warranty. I was just out having a play & I could see some minimal turbulence on the surface around the sun spots. Sadly I can't take photos as my scope is an f5 and I don't plan the shorten it just yet. here's some photo's of the cardboard adapter fitted.
