Congratz on the new solar filter! I wish I could get one 0.o There is a few factors which stop me from doing so,

a.) One for the size of my telescope is not...cheap,
b.)Shipping one for the size of my telescope is very, very fragile.
c.) I cant afford the parts I need for imaging my galaxies let alone the sun! I still need to make a wedge, get an off axis guider, get a focal reducer, and heck, I'm still using 1.25" on a 2" capable Scope! yeayea, I know, you all think im crazy for using 1.25" when I dont have to, but I just cant afford it! the new back, diagonal, eyepieces, camera adapter, AHH! Why did they have to ship it out with 1.25 instead of 2, WHY?! Ah well, it is what it is.

Can't wait to see some pictures man!

Someone needs to setup a camera recording them of one night of astrophotography, so I can see what they do, because my pictures... well, you've seen my pictures, they leave something to be desired. And i'm 99.999% sure it's not my equipments fault.

Clear Skies,
Buldric
