Solar filters.

Just to leave people know i used the mask when i really hadnt a clue bout astronomy....as the man says

DONT TRY THIS @ HOME

Paul: Yep perfect for viewing partial eclipse and naked eye sunspots too.

Good to know. Much obliged Dave.

Here's the site i used to construct my solar filter:

mysite.verizon.net/armicheal/howto/project1/project1.html

I found the instructions and diagrams IDIOT PROOF.

I now plan to make 2 similar but smaller filters for my bins using the same method (and use a bit of string glued to each to connect them......kinda like a pair of kids mitten gloves).

Just thought this link would be useful to anyone (beginners) who want to make a solar filter.

The guy used "black" silicone to seal any gaps at the joins..........i used duct tape.
