Does anyone know of a solar filter for the ETX60? >>

Now that I recently bought an ETX60 myself, I'll add it to the list of scopes
I make full-aperture Baader solar filters for.

They're a friction fit, no screws or Velcro needed. They're made of heavy
acid-free felt paper (an expensive version of posterboard) and the best
double-stick tape I've found after many iterations. It is laminated into a
cylindrical cell, and finished with aluminum tape.

I'll make a batch of them for the ETX60 this week. Price will be $10 per
filter + $5 shipping to the USA per Baader filter order. Contact me
privately to order.

Sizes & prices, excluding the $5/order shipping:

8" LX200 & finder set $40
10" LX200 & finder set $50
10" LX200 dewshield & finder set $70 (reminds me to make one for Greg P.!!)
12" LX200 & finder set $85 (out of stock, likely December delivery)
TV85 $25 (Beveled TV are trickier than it seems)
A-P Traveler $25
ETX60 $10
ETX90 & finder set $20
120/1000 Celestron/Skywatcher refractor $30
Vixen 120mm neo-achro refractor $35
150/1200 Celestron/Skywatcher refractor $40
RV-6 Dynascope $35

Also available and in stock are most threaded camera-filter sizes from 24mm
to 160mm.

All filters are 5.0 visual density Baader material, obtained in full rolls
from the official USA importer. This material is also fine for photography.

Photo-only 3.8 density is also in stock but only sold upon my approval of a
special request.

Thanks,
