@astrogeek21 No solar filter - covered the scope with aluminium foil but I will not go into any detail here else a few eyes could be lost...

@SkynetLives Why O Why is it always money - I started with nothing and made my own scope out of junk. Ground my own 8.75 inch mirror and I did all this because I wanted a scope I could not afford to buy - so I made it...
The art of making things is not dead and if you want it enough that road still exists.
Take a look at my channel "Meade LX200 - From Home Made" for an insight.
Also a lot of my gear now is very old and some of it is a lash up - but it works.
Regards Peter

@jack342able I did not - and would not use any solar filter on a large scope.
Let alone my 10". If you want to view the sun its better to view it via a small SOLAR telescope (Made for the job). I personally would never view the sun directly as I feel "safer" to use a video camera - so my own eyes stay intact. Please NEVER look directly at the sun. Regards Peter.
