I ordered a pair of 58mm solar filter for my Canon 18x50mm IS.
I choose glass filters instead of Baader film, since I want them to last longer.
My thousand oaks solar filter still survive after nearly 30 years of services!
I'm glad to have a chance to test them out this morning. Despite there are quite many clouds floating around, I got some really nice views. Sunspots were clear, with quite a lot of detail within!
The nice optics of the Canon 18x50 IS definitely shows a lot. With two eyes, it certainly helps, too. The image stablisation works wonder at 18x, it's just so convenient and powerful.
I've also ordered a herschel wedge for my refractor.
I shall test it later, and if it is good, I might import some more to the local market.
