For photospheric observations/imaging like here (also called "white light") you only need the inexpensive Baader AstroSolar film fitted onto your existing instrument (telescope, binoculars, photographic lens).

- dylan604 3y ago>..but beware the unrelenting "I need bigger aperture and to travel to better-seeing locations". that's one of the compelling reasons to get into solar observations. if we ever get to a point of worrying about light pollution blocking our view of the sun... my current astro rig is specific for deep sky objects, and is a very wide angle telescope. when i observe the moon, maybe 50% of the FOV is the moon, so i want a different scope for viewing solar system objects that I can then attach said solar filters.
