I realize that this isn't the greatest scope, but we have one and I am wondering if there is a filter for it so I can use it for solar viewing?

-------------------
You can make one using Baader solar filter material. Lots of folks have done so. I've looked thru several ETX's with such filter's. Do a web search for home made baader solar filters, or such. The baader material is about the state of the art stuff for this. Looks almost like a kind of mylar, but it's specifically designed for solar, by Baader Planetarium.
