Brian, what size scope were you using? I was using a C90 Mak with a Baader
film filter. I chose that over my 10" newt because the Baader web site
indicated that a smaller aperture would be better. While I was satisifed
with my views, I would have liked to push the mag above 200X to view some of
the sun spots in detail. The little Mak wasn't much good beyond 133X today.

I have a SolarMax 40. It was definitely neat watching Mercury cross the
chromosphere.
