Can anyone provide some advice on when to get a solar filter for a 6 inch refractor?

I love the Baader filters. Here is a link to a source.

If yours has the lense cover with the secondary 4" hole in it, get some Baader solar film and tape some to the inside of the cover. Gives you an excellent 4" solar filter, more than enough.
