Hello everyone, is anyone planning on viewing the Mercury transit in November? I'm also planning on making a solar filter for my 10" SCT, using Baader filter material, I made one for my ETX-90 about 6 years ago but I'm looking for a more 'pollished' looking design for the 10". Does anyone have any plans they could share or lead me to. if not I do have the materials to make a larger scale version of my ETX filter but I'd love to see new ideas. Chuck I believe you have solar filters for your 70mm bino's, I'm assuming those are homemade, would you mind sharing any tips or insights on those, I plan on inviting the local youth groups, (scouts, church) to view with me since I'm lucky enough to work evenings and will be able to watch the whole thing-weather permitting, and the binos would ease viewing at the scopes, although Mercury will be tiny in the 15x70's. Thanks! Howard __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
