Looks like film's the go !

Thanks for the link Paul, I like the idea of the Baader Solar Continuum Filter 1.25" as well for flares and sunspot detail etc.
I had an empty Moo cheese container somewhere that is the correct diameter for my 90mm scope to make a filter with the film .... just got to find the little sucker or buy some more cheese.

What do most people use to make the filter ?

Having said that the PST gets a fair work out as well
