I'm looking forward to this .... and I'm already filtered up!
I was lucky enough to find a Kronos solar filter (mylar material) that fits my Meade ETX-70 nearly perfectly in one of the "bargain" boxes at Astrofest this year. It cost me the princely sum of $10, works a treat, colour neutral (ie sun is a sharp white colour against a black background) and to make it fit snugly I wrapped about 3 layers of insulation tape around the snout of the 70. The Meade makes a great solar viewing scope, with 9mm ep the sun is about 2/3 fov in the scope, and the package inc tripod is light and easy to transport / set up!
