Solar filters
Do any of you guys own/use solar filters?
Do you just use mylar/baader film, or do you have a full aperture or off-axis solar filter?
I'd love to get a PST but at AU$950+ they're just not in the budget, so a white-light filter will have to do for now.
I priced a 10" off-axis JMB white light solar filter at Bintel a few months ago, I think it was like $120 which isn't too bad.
What do you have?
Where did you get it from? How much did it cost?
How do you find it? Do you use it much?
I want to use mine not just for my own sunspot observing, but also to teach the kids at my son's preschool (this year) and primary school (next year).
Thanks
