I caught that much so far, but I'm still researching... Maybe you could answer a question for me? I've found two candidates so far:

I think I'd prefer the 2nd, and it's less expensive. But the first specifically mentions that it works with my telescope, while the 2nd seems to be better suited for refractor telescopes, without the secondary mirror. If I understand correctly, my 29mm secondary mirror will block 17% of the filter's 70mm aperture. I don't know how much of a negative impact that will have...

Should I get an Orion glass solar filter, or a Kendrick Baader film solar filter if both are of similar price?
