Hi Mark;
He used a 6 inch hole for his 200 mm aperture scope, which is probably big enough for your 235 mm scope.
Quote from the web site.
"First I took two sheets of heavy weight paper (size A4) and with a compass I drew a circle of 6 inches on the two sheets"
HTH..

Hi Alan, Ray & others,
My Baader solar film (1 foot square) is I believe in the mail
somewhere & I now have a 280mm cake making spring form as per the
following site & some cardboard. Here`s the site I`m using for advice
on the construction of my filter; http://www.backyard-astro.com/equipment/filters/baader.html
I can`t find an email link to the author so am asking here. How much
of the aperture of my C9.25 can I use i.e. how big a circle should I
be cutting in the cardboard? The spring form does seems to fit the
scope & & I`d be using a reducer...
Mark.
