Jeff,
Those sound really cool! I made a couple custom filters for my 10 x 50's
from the chunk of Baader film I bought a while back. Worked great for the
Xmas eclipse. My trouble with a "quick look" is it usually leads to a
longer look through the 6". :-)
I'd like to see the solar binos sometime. Will you be at the Messier
Marathon?
