Alright Seanie,

I made a filter from some Baader film Johnno gave me. More than welcome to borrow it- providing it's in good nick. Let me know and I'll dig it out. Fits into the dew shield.

Just keep in mids lads that the PST is a dedicated h-alpha scope, the corona is not visible through such a scope at anytime, only the disk and prominences/flares.

A removable while light filter is the way to go, so you can take it off during totality. I have my thousand oaks filter ready to go on the 4" refractor, I cant wait !!! :D :D

but what a way to go. :)
