Solar filter for the 12 inch dob
Posted: Mon Mar 16, 2015 8:07 pm
Hi guys,
As some of you know, we made up a plan for the solar filter for the 12 inch dob. We got the solar film and I'm nearly finished putting the filter assembly together, I'm in the process of painting it to get it to match the rest of the scope.
Also, it's put together in a way where it would be easy to replace the Mylar if needed, without having to dismantle the entire thing.
I also made up 2 covers for it for storage, so the Mylar can't get damaged in an accident.
I also got a few more handles for the scope itself, to make it easier to lift.
I'll put up pics when it's done over the coming days
