Baader solar filters of a filter of similar quality would be the only type I would use.
Where are you based? Maybe you could meet up at a popular spot where others will be set up with the right gear.

Yep, dodgy is my middle name. I've been doing some googling, several have used the ND10 without burning their sensors so good enough for me. I'll be using live-view - not really wanting to go blind over a photo.
I'm in Gladstone (well 30 mins west of Gladstone) and I am a teacher with AM classes so can't venture far! Might have to stick with the zoom + big stopper, less risky/effort and will definitely produce something.
I am seriously tempted to call in sick and climb to the top of Mount Larcom tonight and shoot a sunrise time-lapse over Gladstone, would be amazing! Instead I'll most likely settle for the mountain in the foreground.
