Hi Solar fans,

If you have a small calibre refractor and would like to get into solar viewing 
without a 3rd or 4th mortgage, the September issue of Astronomy Technology 
Today has a great article on building a "Sun Funnel" for under $20.  Very 
interesting and no need for expensive filters or trying to see through those 
cobalt eyepieces that require averted imagination plus.
