I wanted to get an off-axis solar filter (glass), but neither bintel nor andrews sell them. Bintels only sell full aperture, and at $230 for 10", it's not really within the budget.
Does anyone know of any other aussies shops that might sell off-axis glass filters for newts?
I guess I could try the o/s shops like thousandoaks or something, just not sure how the price compares.
Ultimately I might end up buying some mylar/baader film and making my own off-axis mask out of cardboard or something, it just doesn't look as good that's all.
Is there any visual difference between the glass and the film? ie: is contrast or detail better when using the glass filters?
