I bought a pair of these through Anacortes, my favorite Astronomy Store. (Nice plug, eh Herb?) Anyway, I was very surprised at how well they work. It took a little fidgeting to get them adjusted to my eyes but once dialed in they provided a very good view. Unlike the article in Sky & Tel where the author said he had trouble pointing them, I found it very easy to locate the Sun. I have used them every day since I bought them. In fact, I have used these more the last two weeks then I did my Pronto/Solarmax setup for a whole year.
The sun, albeit small, clearly showed a plethora of detail. I saw two large solar spot groupings and several smaller ones today. Hey, for $99, these are about as easy as it gets and well worth the money. Heck, that is cheaper then most solar filters are, and you don't have drag a scope out just to see the Sun.
