At short notice the best solution is a make a pin-hole projector. Or do as suggested by Stu and see if there is a group meeting somewhere nearby.

Haha, brilliant advice - thanks! Will definitely not set up the scope then. It was a glass filter too.
I didn't think that through very well - I take it filters generally go on the front of the scope then? Reflectors act as a giant magnifying glass yea and would make 10" of light come through to a cm or two on the sensor/filter??
