i jumped in with eyes fully open (i Paid a whole full 49 Aussie Dollars for it
)
and the solar filter is an celestron international solar filter (an Aperture one ) (done my home work as far as solar filters are concerned for the scope).
as i said this scope has given me good views of the moon, saturn and ive even seen the bands on jupiter and its four major moons
and the trapizium in orion
