Yup. Bit underwhelmed with the quality for daytime use but looks like a useful, portable eclipse/transit chaser.
It came with three chunky 116mm glass filters, I have adapted the skylight and red to solar filters, kept the green 'as is' for lunar imaging.

Don't kill him lads, he's only asking!! haha
Apparently welding glass does not block all frequencies of light equally. Specifically it allows UV (Ultra Violet) light through, which can't be seen but damage eyes and sensors.
Best use a dark crisp packet or a dirty sock.

Welding glass no 14 is suitable for naked eye viewing of the sun, but I personally wouldn't use it with a telescope or tele lens.

Just to make sure, is there a big difference between this and the foundation kit? Is it you just don't get the filter with it?
