Hi Jim & Willie, 

I have a piece of Baader solar film in the mail (I think). It`ll have Christmas mail to contend with if it arrives beforehand! I understand it`s a very low activity time for Sunspots at present but this may pick up in the new year?! I plan to mount the film between two sheets of cardboard on a cake making "spring form" before putting it on the scope-the C9.25 probably somewhat reduced...

Good work, Jim. Did you get any video? One of my back burner projects is to get a live sun scope going, that will take images every so often and post them to a website. Probably will be full-disk, surface detail.
