Just before the december partial eclipse I managed to pick up a 5x5
piece of the baader solar film from focus, total cost of the film
$5.00 so $10 max to do binos (unless they are bigger than 80mm)should
not be a heart breaker.

I haven't tried<BR>

isn't large enough for both objectives anyway).&nbsp; I
should probably just<BR>
make some filters for the binos...<BR>
