I have a pair of polarizing filters for the non-bino 1.25" eyepieces in the Oberwerk BT80-45's...they work quite nicely to keep you from going moonblind. Takes a bit of practice to get 'em both set to the same degree, but it's not tough.

Also have a homemade over-the-front solar filter for the Obie, and another set (also homemade) for my 10x50's, and actually one for an 8x21 monocular. Watched the Venus transit a few years ago with the filtered 10x50's.

They all work fantabulously.
