Thanks! And by the way, the image of Saturn in your user pic there looks fantastic. Here's hoping I can catch that one day

This is my solar filter. I put three different types of filter film in there (Baader for viewing, Baader for photography only and one seymour solar film) and I can just open one up at a time. The Seymour film was the darkest, and shutter speeds were too slow for photography. The Baader film was good, but the photography version of it was, as the name suggests, ideal because I could use even an faster shutter speed.

Also just after the clouds covered up the sun, I snapped a photo of myself peering through the telescope.
