Well, some piccies of my setup and one sol shot (plus 100% crop). Those of you with good eyes can see the sunspot region (faintly), near the centre of the disk. I found it really hard to focus with my camera, I couldn't see the sunspots at all (image was taken at prime focus). I wish I had live view for this - live view + 10x mag would have made it much easier for me I suspect.
I was tempted to get my eyepiece projection setup out and put the 15mm eyepiece in, but decided not to.
I am extremely impressed with the Seymour solar filter - very well made, and appears to (at least) my eyes, of very good optical quality. The Sun colour is very pleasing to the eyes, I far prefer it to a white light filter to be honest. Both of my parents had a look, my mum thought it was grand, sadly my dad couldn't see through the eyepiece properly and see the sun. A husband and wife neighbour came over to both have a look, as well as their grown son. I guess I'm doing my bit for IYOA 2009!
