Gday all, I've (finally) got a Meade 10" SCT coming. It has a Kendrick Kwick focus mask and Kendrick off axis solar filter(goes inside mask) included. I've never used these before, but have had the Full aperture glass solar filter before and i like 'em. Which design would be better for observing the upcoming Venus transit and for general solar viewing?
PS,,If you have a 10" Full aperture style filter you no longer require please drop me a PM. Thanks all Mat
hi mat,
i had an off axis for my 12" and was very happy with it..the manufacture had instructions that the 4"off axis was always towards the top..i have no reason why!!!!!!!..seymour solar i think was the place i purchased from very reasonably priced to...
Good nuff for me then Mozzie, I'll have to check it out good and proper before the Transition,,Cheers Mate. BTW i'll have the scope on Thursday. The clouds are comin!
Related: I'm thinking of getting a off axis 12" filter for my Dob or a full aperture filter. Can somebody post a link to a website that posts full aperture filters? Is there any noticeable differences between the two and is there a difference in price?
I wouldn't delay this ... filters are low in stock at the moment. I've been waiting several weeks for a filter order to come in and am starting to get nervous.
I wont be observing the transit as I have a history exam on at the same time (d'oh). So I realize it might take a while with the amount of people ordering the filters.
