Worth getting one of these for my 127 Mak people?

TIA

Not used one of these type in particular but they use Baader film for the filter which is an excellent product and very popular, and there's always something to see on the solar disc at the moment.

Thanks Steve, think I may get one, after all the Transit won't happen again in our lifetime....

I'm using a home-made version made from the the same solar film on my 127 Mak, and it gives excellent detailed sunspot views. Recommended.

How much did that cost to knock up GazK?

How did you actually construct it?

Thanks

The film cost £16, £4 for foamboard, everything else was lying around the house. Full details of how I made it are here:
