Still too low here to give me a look, but I'm ready.

SpaceWeather.com shows some very promising spots on our local star:

Nice piece of woodworking skills there. Hope you get to see some spots.

Thanks guys really enjoyed my first  solar session, a few spots to be seen. Well worth a look!! Glad i finally got round to making my filter for the Evostar.

Hi well done with the filter, I also have the Evostar 120 and have used the baader solar film on the small aperture on the push on lens cap. I wonder if making the filter full aperture as you have makes a difference to the viewing quality, I have enough film left to do this. I would be interested if anyone has done a comparison.
