Nice, John. What's your telescope? Rodger and I just made a Baader filter holder for my 12" -- actually Rodger did the work while I supplied the material and stood there with my mouth hanging open, watching him do it. Do you think the glass is absolutely necessary? Thanks, Joe ________________________________ From: "john@fxlight.com" <john@fxlight.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Saturday, June 2, 2012 4:23 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] My new solar filter Here is my new Solar Filter. I placed baader solar film between 2 pieces of glass and bonded them together. Created a filter holder and siliconed it all together. I was concerned about the amount of wrinkles that formed in the film inside the glass but it does not appear to affect the view. Thanks to Seth at the Clark Planetarium for selling me the baader film!!! You are the man! http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/6378/su2s.jpg http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/543/telescopewithsolarfilte.jpg/ _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
