I made the mistake of looking through a Coronado scope last year too, and I ended up buying one. I don't want to look through the 90mm one, I can't afford it;-)

You better sit down first and hide the credit card! The Telescope I used is a Coronado Maxscope 40 http://www.coronadofilters.com/cgi/display_catalog.cgi?item=3 if you already own a refractor, you can get the Solarmax 40 filters and get the same results http://www.coronadofilters.com/cgi/display_catalog.cgi?item=0 The 40mm filter is the one I have and it is the cheapest setup they sell, but it ain't exactly cheap. You will need a T mount adapter in place of the camera lens and then a 1.25" adapter screwed on to that so it can fit in the scope diagonal. The processing is the hard part. I use Images Plus and Photoshop. If you decide to get the filter, let me know and I can help you with the processing.

?! Actually with that filter, it is very safe to look at the Sun. When looking at the Sun with that filter, the sky in the background of the Sun is pitch black, just like the picture. So no damage is done to your eyes.
Yes, the Sun shots vary a lot, at least to me. There is always some kind of activity in the Sun. I took a close up shot of the Sun with a high power eyepiece a couple of months ago that got published on NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day website. Here is the original:
BTW... Google.co.uk only found one outlet selling in UK. Full kit
with filters was £2200 so won't be rushing to buy. Might check out
hiring, is there a solar flare and sunspot forecast so I know best
time to hire
