Yep, what Mike said. If you want to see details like flares and prominences, one of the best solutions is the Coronado PST. This is a dedicated Ha solar telescope. There are full aperture Ha filters available for your scope, but be prepared to pay upwards of $3000!! For the transit of Mercury on the 9th of november, white light is probably better anyways.

Clear skies,
Shane
