Meade Etx

Anyone looked at the sun with a Meade ETX-125?
What filter did you use? I'm considering buying a full aperture filter for my '125 and was looking for recommendations.
If you're just looking for a white-light filter, the Baader Astro Solar filter is inexpensive, completely safe, and high-quality. There is also the Thousand Oaks filter, which is more expensive, made of glass, and is equally effective.
I should add that solar projection is recommended only for use with refractors. It can damage reflectors like the ETX 125.
Anyway, modern solar filters from *reputable* manufacturers are completely safe and reliable. Contrary to other answers, there's no danger from looking at the Sun through these filters, which block out all harmful radiation and let through only a miniscule amount of visible light. The only dangerous filters are the ones that screw into the eyepiece, but thankfully, those have pretty much disappeared.
