I enjoyed the last two solar maxes using a white light filter only. The dynamics of sunspots changing day-to-day and hour-to-hour is always interesting.

Now, since I have a SolarMax 90, I've prolonged the coming of the next max.

Get some Baader film, make some filters (meets the cheap criteria) and wait for things to start to happen.

Good luck,
