Watch the stars and from them learn. To the Master's honor all must turn, Each in its track, without a sound, Forever tracing Newton's ground

Thousand Oaks Solar Filter R-G

Here's a photo of the sun. I had an impossible time finding a perfect focus. I used a Celestron SP-C6 telescope and an Olympus C-4040Zoom. I was very impressed with the Thousand Oaks Solar Filter. The RG film is great. I used to use Roger Tutthill's solar filter. Oaks is a more natural color instead of blue.
