Finding the sun
I've got a NexStar 8SE with a celestron solar filter. For the life of me, I can't use it to look at the sun. By using the shadow circle method and even taking a photo through my aligned finderscope i am quite sure that I've had the telescope pointing right at the sun numerous times, and certainly would have when moving the telescope around the area in case it was off by a bit.
Despite this, I've never seen the sun through the 25mm plossl eyepiece. I've adjusted the focus in case that was the issue with no result.
Astronomy aficionados, please help. What am I doing wrong?
