Hi:
A few days ago, I found this filter

http://agenaastro.com/baader-calcium-ca ... -1-25.html

Does somebody know it? Does it work well? Is it worth to buy it?

I ask it because before there were Calcium Telescopes for solar observations, but currently, I don't find them. However, there are modules, at least, sold by Lunt. The filter is cheaper than a module.

It will only perform slightly better than a white light continuum filter for imaging. The photos in the link are unrepresentative of what you can achieve with this filter. Either get a white light filter or save up for the Lunt is my advice.
