They list ND5 for visual (but works for photography) and ND3.8 for photography only.
Bintel are out of TeleVue Sol Searchers. Sydney Obs took their entire stock. I made up my own with a strip of aluminium ~20cm x 2cm, 2 SS screws and 2 rawlplugs. Folded the two ends up for about 2cm. Drilled a small hole in one end. and two holes between the bends for the screws. Ran the screws through the strip nto the rawlplugs. The plugs fit in the slot in the handle joining the rings on the 127ED.
Told the unaligned Gemini (G11 plonked down pointed roughly south) to GoTo the sun, centered the spot with the hand control. Image was almost dead center in the camera first try.
