good video, but why do you say only 3 inches no matter the size of your scope? I have full aperture Seymour Solar filters (homemade) over my ETX-90 and ETX-125 and the 125 has noticeably higher resolving power. The sunspots and penumbra are much more defined in the 125 compared to the 90. Keep up the good work on the videos! any PST shots lately? I have one on the way and cant wait!
@CessnaPilot99 all 'rules' can be broken - my 3" aperture rule is for general guidance as seeing can be degraded during the heat of the day and a smaller aperture sometimes give better results.

The Baader-film is very useful, even for bigger apertures and binoculars too.
