hey all, fantastic site...im fairly new to astronomy and must've had a good dose of beginers luck: found out by accident about the venus transit while i was waiting for my 20x80 skymaster to arrive from the u.s, then quicky ordered a s.filter sheet and never once thought they might be sold out as the world gets ready, then i built cups for the s.filter cutouts all with 3 days to go....success! its pretty awesome looking at the sun anyway but could someone please let me know if i was wanting get serious and start to see detailed granulation and/or flares, suface ejecta and so forth i will really need h.alpha filters, or is it possible to keep a low budget with other types/brands of filter bought in sheets etc?...
