Newbie setting up for Mercury

[discardedastro]

So I've never done any solar imaging but have always fancied giving it a go. The Mercury transit next month seems as good as excuse as any.

I've got a 200PDS/183MM setup and my thinking is that I could take a standard Baader solar filter and with that use my existing setup, which means I get to reuse everything. That seems like the cheapest option at ~£120 for a filter and a tilt adapter to mitigate Newton rings. I've got a 7nm Ha filter in the wheel as well as some LRGB.

Would this be a sensible approach to do some basic imaging of the sun and spot Mercury? What else should I consider getting for my budget solar setup?
