Hi Leon,
It was a cheap scope with average optics. I don't really mind risking a cheap eyepiece in order to project the image of the Venus Transit. I am still keen to turn the projected image yellow but don't want to destroy another filter. We heard the glass crack when it let go. I half expected it to happen.
Don't worry, there is no way that I would ever risk my eyesight by looking at the Sun directly without solar filters.
I guess the best bet will be to add some colour in the processing stage.
