Solar Filters

Hi All,

Looking for some advice regarding solar filters. I have a 8" Dob (Skywatcher) and am wanting to examine the sun for my high school science classes.

There are three main points I am interested in examining;

1. What kind of details should I be expecting to see?
2. The Scope I have has a collapsible truss is it safe for solar observing?
3. Well I forgot the 3rd point due to an interruption (even at 3am) but any other advice is welcome!

cheers
