Hi Geoff,
I forgot to add that I have a full aperture JMB solar filter fitted to a GEM mounted 114mm Newt. This is my 'dedicated' solar observing scope.
This type of solar filter allows me to see and keep track of sunspots. It DOES NOT allow me to see solar prominences or flares. Afaik, (and I'm sure I'll be informed here if I'm wrong) you would require a purpose-built solar telescope such as the Coronado PST - either the hydrogen alpha or calcium K type - to observe such things.
All the best
