AstroZap Baader Solar Filter for 8SE?

[davedownsouth]

Was thinking of getting a AstroZap Baader Solar Filter for the Celestron Nexstar 8SE which I have got on order and was hoping someone who had one could confirm the size for me? I am guessing it is the 225-235 mm which I need, is this right (http://www.firstlightoptics.com/solar-filters/astrozap-baader-solar-filter.html). Also, is this all I need, or is the Baader Solar Continuum Filter essential or just useful?

Cheers,

Dave

Just to be sure why don't you give the guys at FLO a call, they told me exactly what the correct diameter was.

Sensible suggestion, will do so

The Continuum filter can enhance the contrast, but not a mandatory accessory.
