Thanks. The first link (Rainbow Symphony, Inc.) does indeed ship to Canada, according to the website - for the "sunglasses" type of filter, cost is $1.00 per pair with a minimum order of 25 pairs, which doesn't seem like such a bad price - that should be enough to build 50 sextants <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I took a quick look at the second link ("Sky and Telescope"). Haven't found any information on viewing the sun, but I loved the "Night Sky" Monopoly game - I think my niece may get that for her next birthday <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
