RASC Hamilton Transit of Venus

[Gary Bennett]

Finding a Solar filter now will be difficult. I know that Kendrick makes
filters but their website says that that will not be able to fulfill new
orders until after the June transit. 

It is possible to make your own filter by using Baader Solar film but I
suspect no one will have stock. I used to own a CPC1100 and that's what I
did.

Hi Gary

I have a CPC 1100 but no solar filter. I've tried to a get a glass one from
Efston Science but no stock. They said mylar possible but much less durable.

Suggestions?

Thx

Al
