I managed to pick up a Konus (?) brand film type filter to suit my little ETX-70 at last years Astrofest from a bargain bin - $10, what a bargain indeed!

(The ETX is actually a great size for solar (or lunar) viewing, field of view with a 9 to 4 mm ep encompasses either object nicely! I was using my 8mm Orion Stratus in it the other night at a public viewing event which gave a nice, clear, clean image of good size.)
