RE: Dangerous eyepiece filter.

When i bought my telescope off ebay it cam with the same eyepieces. I just looked at the thread and wow just as you called it I was looking at the sun and pow!!!! Blinded like a welding flash.
It cracked for no reason.
I was in pain for two days and it felt like someone grinded my eyeball with sand paper.
Just wanted to state the warning again to anyone who has one ...HIT IT WITH A HAMMER!!!
Is the price of a sun filter dear that goes over the end of my 114 mm? Or does anyone have one they might like to sell?
