Sun Shield with caps for Celestron 127mm Mak

I wanted a Sun shield without breaking the bank, so I took matters into my own hands. Here's what you'll need: 1. One of these (6"x6") filters - grab it from Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01770FDAC, and make sure to cut it down to size. 2. A Sun Shield 1 - this is the primary component, but don't get too excited just yet. 3. Another Sun Shield 2 - because one just isn't enough; you'll need two for complete coverage when not in use. 4. At least one (I prefer two) Sun Shield Storage Cap to keep everything tidy. To assemble this beauty, I applied a tiny dab of glue on both sides of the filter sheet, holding it firmly in place. Don't worry about wrinkles - they won't affect your viewing experience; mine have been there since day one, and I still can't spot them when gazing at the Sun. Remember to grab a Solar Finder before attempting to locate the Sun through your equipment - trust me, you don't want to risk looking directly at it. I swear by this handy device: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3048352.
