WANTED - Solar film / filter

Suitable for a 6" newt. Rather make it myself (cause its cheaper) but if you got a filter lying around I'll consider it.

Brave man, David! Trusting your eyes to an ebay dealer. I'd be too

Bob, for similar reason, solar film is not something I'd buy second hand. (In fact I'm not sure if it's something I'd buy at all but that's another matter.)
See link in other thread to AOE.

Solar film is cheap enough to buy new, AUS$45 for an A4 size sheet from
memory. So being the way I am (safety wise) I agree with Steve. I use it
on my 8" newt an get some lovely views of sun groups, works a treat! I
also have the PST ridding shotgun, to get two perspectives.

regards,CS sunny days
