Hi iceman

I use home made Baader Filters for a couple of my scopes.

I bought the film- 10 cm square for $15 from BATSC in Melbourne- plus a couple of dollars for postage

Used it for the Venus transit and generally for sunspot observing though what with nearing a solar minimum and all the cloudy days we have been having I havent had a lot of use recently

don't use the usual finder-in fact remove it from the scope when aimed at thye sun--made a solar finder-sort of sun dial principle-which works fine
