well, just my luck...

I just acquired a 10" dobsonian (via the classifieds- thanks, chich0) and so hoped to use it for the transit of venus.

of course, it now seems impossible to buy a Thousand Oaks solar filter anywhere...

I also have an ED80. What do people think of the "Sky-Watcher / Baader Safety Solar Cap" that can be purchased from AstroShop:
