Have you considered opening an internet store? ________________________________ From: Seth Jarvis <SJarvis@slco.org> To: 'Utah Astronomy' <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2012 4:30 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Solar Filter (Again) Thousand Oaks - yep, that'd be a good choice. I just got through answering another question about why we don't stock h-alpha filters or Coronado telescopes, and I think that answer applies here, too. In the age of the internet, knowledgeable amateur astronomers seeking specialized accessories for their telescopes almost always buy online and are willing to wait a couple of days for the UPS truck - they almost never come down here to talk to us about their accessories. I wish we had the demand for the kind of full-service full-stocked telescope store you find in L.A., but the Salt Lake area market is just too small and the internet makes it so easy to get exactly to doo-dad you want at Amazon prices.

Thanks, Seth. I am really looking for a glass filter. Right now it looks like I'll go with the Thousand Oaks filter.

What will _will_ have here shortly (end of week) are large sheets of Baader solar filter. For not a lot of money I suspect you'd have no difficulty building a full-aperture filter for your telescope.

I just called your gift shop and was told you do not sell them. I thought I remembered you mentioning that you did. I would needd one that fits on the outside or inside of a 10" O.D. tube with a 1/16" wall. I only need an 8" clear aperture. Do you have such a beast?
