Got my new solar film today so tested it out after making an appropriate filter. Works well, and seems sharper than the old filter I had. Taken with the 80mm refractor, but enlarged 2x, same image scale as what I'll be using for the Venus Transit.

As you can see a little cloudy...

That will look great for Venus Andrew :)
