heh funny you should ask at this moment.. I just finished constructing the cell to hold the baader filter material.
The solar film should hopefully arrive tomorrow or tuesday.. my cell is ready, so it should only take 5 minutes to complete the construction and then it'll be ready to use.
Just in time too, i'm wanting to go to my son's preschool later this week to give them a daytime sun and moon session, and I need the moon and sun both together in the sky, far enough apart , and a good time is either later this coming week or early next week, otherwise it'll be later in december, around the 19th.
I would've liked a glass filter, but for $230 full aperture it just wasn't worth it.. For $55 worth of solar film (30cm x 30cm) and $0 in cardboard, it's a much more economical way to do some solar observing.
Here's my cell, just finished making it 2 minutes ago.
