Makes locating the sun for solar / eclipse photograph safe and easy. To use, simply point your camera toward the sun and align the light coming through the hole with the cross pattern on the spotter.
Remember to use an appropriate solar filter (ND100000). If using a DSLR - NEVER LOOK THROUGH THE VIEW FINDER.
Printing
Prefer higher heat tolerant plastics - PLA is probably not a great choice. Filament color doesn't really matter as you can see even black works just fine but you could take a spool, or a random printed part, into the sunlight and cast a shadow on it to get an idea of how good the contrast will be.
Lay the spotter on its side for printing. A brim is suggested. No supports needed.
