Is there a Solar Filter available for the Celestron C10-NGT?
Is there a good quality solar filter available for this telescope?
(preferably a glass filter and not a flimsy milar one).
I could not find out anything from Celestrons' site.
I do not want to make one from milar and have no problems with spending up to $250 as I might just buy a Coronado PST because having the H-Alpha ability looks awesome.
It is 254mm/ 10" diameter.
I used to be a fan of Orion (telescope.com) and love the fliers I get in the mail, but after waiting 3.5 weeks to answer a simple question about an equatorial mount that telescopes.com answered in 3 hours I swore to never go to them again for anything. Sadly, they do have nice solar filters.
The best solar filters are the ones made by Kendrick using Baader AstroSolar film. This film is actually _less_ flimsy than glass, and has better optical qualities. They have the highest resolution and the most natural colour, and are well made of powder-coated aluminum with nylon thumb screws to hold them safely in place. I have three of Kendick's filters myself. You will need to measure the outer diameter of your telescope's tube to order the correct size.
I own a PST myself, and since I got it four years ago, I've used my white-light filters exactly once! The Sun is just so much more interesting in H-alpha, especially when there's so little sunspot activity. Even if there are no sunspots, in H-alpha every day you can see prominences and flares.
