I made some filters for my Bears for the Christmas Ecplise. They worked nice. I will try and post the actual PVC components that I used when I get home tonight. I have 4.5" squares of the Baader film. It is $4 per square. I work at 400 W. North Temple so I could meet people down here.

Chuck- I'm curious about your design for bino solar filters; I've been giving something like that some thought. My guess is you are adapting a [large] PVC fitting to cover the binoculars? A while back somebody posted that he had some Baader film for sale, but never replied to my email. If that person is still out there, I'm still interested.... I can't get out to SPOC after work in time for the eclipse, so I'm going to observe it from Churchill Jr High on Wasatch between 3900 S & 4500 S. If anyone is in the same boat and wants to join me and my rug-rat crew, please do... Joe Borgione

I plan to make dual solar-filters for my 70mm binos for this eclipse, from the Baader material and PVC pipe.
