Any thoughts on Seymour solar filters?

[dpastern (Dave Pastern)]

I don't want to spend a fortune on this, do you guys think this should be OK? Yes, I know I probably could get some baader filter material and make my own, but I'd prefer ready made, and I also prefer a yellow/orange view of the Sun, rather than White, which I believe the baader will show...

It will do the job safely, that's the main thing. Haven't heard any feedback on this manufacturer, positive or negative.
JMB filters are also available ( I bought mine a few years ago in Oz, but can't remember the supplier)
I use the Baader but also add the green continuum filter to improve contrast and resolution, so it wouldn't matter what colour the solar filter gave, it always turns out green!!!

I did a little search on Cloudynights, and couldn't find anything negative about this manufacturer. They seem to have been around for about 2 years.

Personally I have used Thousand Oaks and JMB, but most of the glass filters seem to be very similar in manufacturing.

Thanks guys. I did a bit of research and could only find good feedback myself. Might invest in one of these!
