Hi,
I can't remember what is the brand... initially I thought it was baader, because I remember seeing the word "baader" in the package.... Ha Ha Ha !! Anyway, I think it should be the Black Polymer from Thousand Oaks Optical.
how did you get the orange colour?
That's depend on the exposure... At 19x, a slower exposure(1/125s, ISO 100) will show a more bright yellowish-orange and a faster exposure(1/1000s, ISO 100) will show a more reddish-orange.

Have a nice day.

1) don't be lazy
2) don't be lazy
3) don't be lazy
4) don't be lazy
5) don't be lazy
6) don't be lazy
7) as I say... don't be lazy

Looking at the past week's and today's weather, I think we were very lucky to have clear skies for the whole duration of the venus transit..
