Very basic setup for the eclipse + quiet sun?

I'm not really planning on any serious photography at the eclipse, as I have to fly up and can't take my scope/mount, so I've just got a simple setup. I've just butchered some solar viewing glasses and used a cheap uv filter as a frame to hack up a basic solar filter for my camera. Works a treat!

Also I noticed there are no sunspots at the moment?
When I used a similar setup for the transit I could clearly see some sunspots.
