Solar observing
I don't see much on it here, but I'm interested. Can I buy, make (using purchased film) a solar filter for my 10" GSO Dob? I guess an off center reduced aperture type filter would be the significantly cheaper option.
What are my filter options? I think it would only be worthwhile if I could see some texture/sunspots on the disk and prominences.
Is the price going to make it not worthwhile on my dob? Are there major drawbacks in using my scope this way?
